T-minus 3 weeks until the END of the semester! I’m losing my mind. Don’t know if that’s because of the apocalypse or if it’s my work load.
Fan Fiction. We’ve all read it. Some of us have created it. Don’t lie to yourself.
This week was filled with it! (Kind …
I walked out of my dorm this morning, and I walked over something hard, but it didn’t break from my weight so I knew it wasn’t a stick. I looked down, and saw a path of keys left in an almost perfect straight line. I was afraid to pick them …
Have you ever walked through the bookstore and seen a book with a GIF playing on the cover? I bet not! If you have, please tell me what book! We’ve all seen the books that if you tilt them back and forth the image changes, but it’s not a GIF!…
I created an accurate as fictionally possible depiction of “The Land” in California by Edan Lepucki. Of course, as the title explains, these characters are in California, however, they travel to a community/part of land that is called “The Land.” When you think of the word land, one may think …

August, A.K.A. Frida and Cal’s ‘trading partner,’ has even more to his story than we could have ever imagined. He has always been someone who listens to other peoples’ problems before he explains his own story.
August grew up in a family in which everyone did everything for themselves. He …
We have reached the end of our video unit. Ladies and gentlemen please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle until we have finished this blog post. Thank you.

On Thursday, as a class, we wrote a story all …
We’ve all seen those stories in which the person doesn’t talk, but just lifts up notecards where the story/words are written. Many of them are very sad, however, some are funny! I decided to make mine funny! It’s all about my encounter with what I thought was the world ending! …
When I saw that there was a 3-star assignment in which I could highlight one of my favorite people in my life, I knew I wanted to do this assignment. It took me about 2.5 seconds to decide that I would make a video about my mom.
So… who doesn’t …
I took some time to answer five of Dr. Vanessa “Nessie” Locke’s questions about the apocalypse and how I’m feeling! From weird symptoms that I’ve seen displayed by myself and others to how I feel when I stare up at the night sky, all the questions are answered!
…
This week, we continued our unit on video! One of the first assignments was to watch another apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic movie! Last week, I watched The Quiet Earth. This week, I watched a movie that I really, really enjoyed, The Day the Earth Stood Still (the 1951 version).

Ugghhhhh… This week, you guys. I’m barely crawling out of week 10 alive. This week was filled with so much to do, not just in this class, but in all of my classes! In college, the grind never ends. It’s 10:00 PM on Monday night, and I am exhausted.
But! …
Dr. Annalise Huddleston is back for another video where she wants to make sure to help everyone survive the apocalypse as much as she can. Watch below!
What are your thoughts on some of the things she shared?…
For one of my video assignments, I created a lyric video for one of my favorite songs, Future Looks Good, by One Republic. I had a lot of fun creating this video! I downloaded the song from a YouTube video, and then looked up the lyrics on A-Z Lyrics…
A look back on my past three years at UMW! 1 more year of memories to make!
This video was created with SmileBox and music from the audio library on YouTube!…
The first task of Week 10 has been to learn how to read movies. We all know how to watch movies, but can we all read them?
I’m a Communications and Digital Studies major. For one of the elective requirements, I took Intro to Cinema Studies here at UMW last …
It has been a great week!
Week 9 began with with my group’s radio show, Girls’ Guide to/for/through the Apocalypse. It aired on DS106 Radio on Tuesday night. It was so much fun getting to hear our show on the air. We all worked so hard on it, and it …
On Tuesday, March 20th, my survivalist group’s radio show aired on DS106 Radio. It was so exciting to listen to something that we all worked so hard on on a platform where anyone and everyone could hear it! Rachel did a wonderful job editing everything together. There was one moment …
One of my assignments this week was to remix/redo/update a project that I have already completed during this semester. I decided that I would redo the three-star assignment “Haiku it up” from the writing assignment bank.
The original was posted on February 3rd, and it is now March 25th! The …
Hello!
I had a wonderful spring break and I wish I could have about two more weeks of it. Unfortunately, I had to come back to the real world. I went down to Kiawah Island in South Carolina to visit family. Kiawah is a very special place for my family …
My group and I met Wednesday night to record and edit our radio show, “Girls’ Guide to the Apocalypse,” which will be airing on DS106 Radio next week! Keep your ears open for it!

Our radio show’s name is “Girls’ Guide for the Apocalypse” and I love the name so much! When we were …
We’ve made it through Week 6! I didn’t know if I’d make it! This week has had its absolute ups and its awful downs. For one thing, I had to say goodbye to my sweet yellow lab, Molly, on Thursday after 14 years together! I hate it, but I’m getting …
Word Clouds are always fun! I remember as a kid, we would have this day in school where it was just a day for writing. The whole day was devoted to going around to different groups and “seminars” where they would show us a fun new way to write a …
As another assignment for this week, I decided to use CoolLetters.net in order to make a “logo” for my character, Annalise Huddleston! Take a look:
I wanted this “logo” to look professional and inviting, at the same time. I really like how to colors contrast one another. Another fun fact …
Annalise Huddleston returns! I’m really loving my character, I must say! It’s so much fun getting to design, write about, and just overall create someone totally fictional! She feels real, to me, in some ways already!
This week, I was able to use Hero Machine to create an animated depiction …
One of my assignments for this week to create a DesignBlitz! Very similar to my PhotoBlitz from a few weeks ago, this week I was to take pictures of five different objects that illustrated five different design aspects! Check out my results below:
The first picture (the top left) is …
