End of Semester

Life has been crazy in the Briggs household the last few weeks, and we've absolutely loved it. Everything started with the end of the semester and finals! 

This round of finals was a little bittersweet for me-- as it was my very last. Ever. 

I don't walk until April, but I finished up all my classes this semester, I can't believe it. 

On Tuesday, my PR capstone group presented our final project, the +SocialGood campaign to the client, The United Nations Foundation. It was a wonderful and exciting experience. The PR program really does a great job at giving students real-world experience. 

The last two years, I have spent almost every day with these beautiful women. I have learned so much from them and I am definitely a better person because of them. It was a weird experience to finish our final presentation and then say goodbye. It's only been a few weeks and we are already spread out across the country, starting our post-college lives. We really went through a lot together and I don't know what I am going to do without their advice, humor and smiles. I have really been so blessed to work with these girls. All of them have such incredible potential and I know that they are all going to go out and change the world for the better. 

After our presentation, I headed to take my last final in the testing center. I got a 95% on my test and I really felt like the "congratulations" next to my number was BYU's way of patting me on the back. Like BYU was saying, "Great job on your undergrad education. You've done well." 

The rest of the week was devoted to studying for my beast of an accounting test. My cousin, Kaylie helped study with me and even though it was hard work, we had so much fun. 

We spent hours and hours in the Tanner Building and library pouring over the practice tests and study guides. We studied almost 30 hours over the course of four days and we were so ready to just get it over with. 

Bryan was such a sweetheart. Even though he had finished all of his finals two days earlier, he came to almost all of our study sessions just in case we got stuck on a problem. 

I finally went and took the test. It took me four hours to take the test-- I was so exhausted by the end. 

But when I walked out from that test, I realized that it was the last time I will ever take a test at BYU. 

I still can't believe it. I have absolutely loved my time here at BYU and I can't believe how many ways studying here has blessed my life. When Bryan and I walk in April, I will write a post about BYU.

Now on to enjoy the holidays!
