Broadcasting Life From...

Hi! I'm Bradford Raths and I am a senior at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. I am going to be graduating with a degree in Broadcast  Journalism with a Certificate in Informatics in August of this year. During my time at IU, I have had many unique opportunities to grow both as a...

Well here we are....almost to the end of dead week. Which for me brings out a mix of emotions. The mixed emotions stem from one thing: It's the last time that I'll be taking regular semester finals as a college student (though I will likely have finals from my classes this summer too).
