My Favorite Photo
1.5 Stars How do I pick my favorite photo? There are so many! I picked this photo because this is my happy place. This is the pond at my family’s cabin in Vermont. My mom is originally from Vermont, so we go up there every year to see my family. My time in Vermont is… -
My Game of Thrones Sigil
3 Stars Family Motto: Without a firm grasp, no road will get you to where you want to go This assignment was a lot of fun because I got to delve into the world of Game of Thrones again. I thought about using one of the crests that were in the TV show, but then… -
Photography Style
Do I have a photography style? This question has plagued me ever since I read the assignments for this week. In my mind, I just point my camera at something pretty and take the photo. There isn’t usually a lot of forethought on how the photo will come out or how I will use shadows… -
To Review a Week
This week was a little challenging with the amount of writing. I think I’m good at writing, but I’m more used to writing a ten page paper, not a bunch of little assignments. I did two assignments relating to movies which I really enjoyed. LadyHawke is my mom’s favorite movie, so it was cool getting… -
Seconhand Lions: In the Mind of the Salesman
4 Stars Secondhand Lions is one of my favorite movies. For this assignment, I will be writing from the perspective of the first salesman that drives up. Here is a video to show you how the scene goes! *as he is driving up the long driveway* I sure hope this is the right driveway! The… -
Influential Leader of the 80’s: Princess Diana
2 Stars Diana Francis Spencer, Princess of Wales has always interested me as a historical figure. She is probably one of the most beloved members of the Royal Family, even after her death in 1997. She was the first person to make the Royal Family personable and accessible. Even though she was from a noble… -
The 80’s
I watched the first episode of The Eighties where the producers delved into the emergence of contemporary TV during this decade. The episode started off with the conclusion of MASH which was very popular during the 70s. In addition, the episode discussed the creation of sitcoms and day-time TV into society. The most resonating quote… -
The Onion’d Article
2 Stars Amy Klobuchar: Time to focus on me rather than the other candidates Ms. Klobuchar stated that she is tired of moderators not paying attention to her. She is a candidate as well and she should be payed attention to. She isn’t as radical or as flashy as some of her counterparts, but she… -
5 Albums that Shaped Your Taste
2 Stars Below are the 5 albums that shaped my taste. I have a rather eclectic music taste and this photo certainly shows that. My favorite songs from each of the albums are as follows: Every album, except for Lewis Capaldi, I grew up listening to, so they all have a special place in my… -
Write a Movie Review
3 Stars Movie: LadyHawke Synopsis: LadyHawke is a love story. The movie starts out focusing on a pick pocketer named Phillipe “The Mouse” Gaston. The Mouse is cornered by some guards, but Etienne Navarre rescues him. Navarre’s hawk follows them and scouts to see if there is any trouble ahead and behind them. That evening… -
Daily Creates Week 2
Street Art and Graffiti have started to become a city’s way of expressing itself. Its no longer bad to have walls covered in this gorgeous artwork. -
A Week in Review
I learned a lot this past week. The Daily Creates were fun to go through and spend five minutes thinking about what applied to each of them. I had to spend a little time thinking about a phrase that I hear a lot in my hometown. The assignment bank has a lot of options, but… -
Write Yourself into History
13 July 1985, Wembley Stadium This was the best night ever! We all went on a vacation to England. We are spending a few days in London and then we are going to go and see Stonehenge and Bath. Later on, this week we are going to go to Scotland to see Edinburgh. Last night… -
What Would the World Look Like if…
For this design assignment I asked myself: What would the world look life if the Berlin Wall never fell? This is a difficult question because so many events happened before the fall of the Berlin Wall. To appropriately complete this assignment I had to set a few rules in my mind. Did technology still progress… -
Daily Create: Daydreaming
I daydream about my next travel locations and what I would like to be doing there. I have many countries on by bucket list, but Greece is one of my top choices. I’ve always had a fascination with the mythology (Percy Jackson fan!) and I would love to see where it originated. -
Success is Peace of Mind
Personal peace can be found in a variety of places, people, actions and things. My personal peace comes from such a variety of sources. I’m at peace when I’m with my family and my dog. They are the people who know me best and help me work out some of my inner struggles. They are… -
This just in…
This week was a learning experience! The hardest part of this week was learning how to use and navigate WordPress because I’ve never used it before. I have discovered throughout this week that WordPress is a bit of a pain and that I have to block off a good portion of time in order to… -
Being Raised in the 80’s
To start off with, no I was not actually born in the 80’s, I was born in 1998. However, my parents grew up in that time and while they did adapt with the times, they still kept a foot in the 80’s. By the time I was 5 years old, I knew all the words… -
