THE FINAL STRETCH

It's almost over! I can't believe that after two years, I am finally graduating with two Master's degrees. I still have a few finals to get through and a couple projects, but it is nice to know that I will be done in less than a month. Commencement is on May 20th, so it will be exciting to walk in front of family and friends in honor of the end of my graduate education.


While the end is very near, there is still so much going on until graduation. There are numerous social events that are going on before we reach the last day of classes. There are many numerous end of the year parties for the different programs. This year's MSF and MSA event is at Market in downtown Boston. It should be a classy, yet fun affair. As a part of the GMA, we have the responsibility to plan these events using our budget.


In addition to all the end of the year parties, there are also Grad Week events. These should be a lot of fun as they involve fun activities around Boston, as well as events in other states around New England. It will be nice to hang out with everyone else who is graduating and celebrate our achievements as we anticipate the next chapter in our lives.


Over the summer, I plan to study for and take the CPA exam. It will basically be my job. I know it is quite a feat to pass all four parts in one summer, but I hope that the Becker FastPass classes at BC will help me achieve this. I do not want to have to study for the tests once I start my job. The summer will be a bit more stressful than most, but it will all be worth it in the end!


It has been a great two years, but I am excited to start a new chapter in my life! But Boston College will always be a special place to me. GO EAGLES!
