To the OP, this is why I do not start many threads. When you start a thread, there needs to be a very good reason because if there is not, people will point out how what you had to say is not worthy of its own thread. On the other hand, what you said would clearly have met the threshold for being worthy of being a post in an existing thread. I do agree with though, life as an undergrad, especially as an upperclassman who has settled into college life, is very nice.
Some folks would love to go back, I loved undergrad but so much as to want to go back. During my last year or two it feel lame to that when asked how much education I had completed, it was only "some college." That put me in the same category as someone who took a class for one week at a community college and dropped the class a week later. It felt good to leave the "some college" group and have that Bachelors and not have to say "well I'm still a student but I will be a ..." now I am something and not just a "potential..." or an "aspiring..." or a "future..." I also felt like all of my struggles my senior year with some fairly tough economics, econometrics, game theory and other advanced courses looked to a lay person as meaningless pedantry and to a professional economist/professor like a child struggling to memorize his multiplication tables.
Plus you need to graduate to go to grad school and I need grad school, in my case law school, in order to even start doing what I want to do with my life so it felt good to move on in life when I graduated college.
