Well, this is it. This is my final-ever blog post written for WVU News and one of my final assignments for West Virginia University overall. 

This week, we wrapped our fifth and final show of the semester for WVU News, and my 10th time producing a newscast at WVU. This not only brought an end to my semester of News, but also finalized an entire school year of producing for WVU media classes. The only word that comes to mind is bittersweet. 

The final show of WVU News is in the books. After a rough start to our semester, we found a way to finish strong and produced another good-quality show just after our first come-up. 

Not only has my time at West Virginia University come to an end, but so has my journey with WVU News.
