For many, it is a way to express how they are feeling after spending four years of their life in school.

Some caps are optimistic while others express their worry about student loans.

This year’s caps are bigger and better than ever.

From "The Powerpuff Girls" to "Finding Dory" this year’s caps are some of our favorites.

Congrats, graduates!

I had to wait till day two to make sure it’s real. Graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a Specialization in Marketing and three minors: Design, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, and Portuguese. The past five years have been amazing and so fulfilling but I’m ready to start writing the next chapter of my life. Feeling free and that the possibilities for my future can and will be as big as I dream them to be ????????????? (now I’m done with photos but plz appreciate my wackness in these ??) #osugrad #gobucks
