Congrats on that. I put myself through school (along with Pell Grants, thank you America) partially with the help of what would become a maxed out credit card. When I paid it off, it was a great feeling. Next step: You can get the same feeling by dumping money into savings and investment accounts and doing compounded interest calculations :P

I paid it off a long time ago, but I can tell you that before I did, I learned a nasty lesson about minimum payments on a large balance :) When I finally paid it off, it was a massive chunk, all at once essentially. For a while there I was throwing good money towards interest and not principle. Lame sauce.
