    Goodbye, DS106

    by
    It’s about that time, fellow survivors! We have reached the End of the End. Can you believe it’s been 16 weeks? I can’t! These last two weeks, I have completed seven Daily Creates and finally finished my final story, which I worked on with my friend, Taylor! It took us quite a while, but it […]

    An Adventure to Remember

    by
    **Submission for Elizabeth Finto and Taylor Malone – The three elements we used were writing, design, and photography. **Disclaimer: Dr. Kenneth L. Davis is a real person at Mount Sinai Hospital – we used his name, but not his occupation. The picture is not actually him, and I’m sure he is a wonderful doctor and […]

    Putting the “Fan” in Fan Fiction

    by
    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 of) I was to complete 12 […]

    The Land of the… Survivors?

    by
    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 about a plot of land where you can […]

    The Backstory on August

    by
    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 basically taught himself everything he […]

This week, I watched a movie that I really, really enjoyed, The Day the Earth Stood Still (the 1951 version). I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this movie! […]

    A Lyric Video for One Republic

    by
    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. Once I had the song and the lyrics, as […]
