Investing Sign on Bonus or pay off student debt

I got a decent bonus for signing for a post grad opportunity. I have a little chunk of student loans that I feel like I can definitely crack down on if I sent that bonus right to it then I don't have to worry about it rest of my life. Or should I maybe invest that and try to get a higher return then then interest rates on my loans... Half the rates are above 4.3% and half are below.

What should I pay for
