"When I graduate from University, I'll cruise for a while." to move through life at a comfortable pace?
OR
"I've been studying hard. I think I'm going to cruise this exam."

Ostap,
(1) I can
not tell you whether you have used "cruise" correctly.
(My brother says that maybe some native speakers might think you
mean: After I graduate, I am going to take a cruise ship somewhere.)
IF you mean that you want to relax for a while after working so hard
at the university, then
I can tell you what some Americans might say:
After I graduate, I am just going to
coast/unwind/kick back/hang out/loaf
for a while. (That is, I am going to relax for a period of time and
not do anything in particular. Then I shall start my career.)
I have been studying hard. I am going to
ace this test. (This
test will be a piece of cake for me. The professor will think that
I am a genius!!!)
(2) Since we are all adults, I think that I am allowed to tell
you something very delicate. If I use discreet language, maybe
it will be OK:
(a) I most respectfully suggest that you
not use the verb
"cruise" until you really understand English. Sometimes that
verb in the United States means:
a man walks on the street at night or goes to a park because
he wishes to meet another man ....
THANK YOU
