Upcoming graduation is a roller coaster of emotions. Excitement, anxiousness, fear, and PANIC. Regardless of your feelings toward this next step, these undergrad years will be missed. Through the ups and downs, the first dorm room, shower shoes, embarrassing freshmen nights out, horrible gen ed classes (for me it was Ancient Athens, everyone has one), first year in your major, first apartment lease, and the list goes on!

Here are 30 things that you will definitely have on your list of things you'll miss about college.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority
