The End
This semester has been really fun and I am definitely going to miss this class. Even though it was a lot of work, I really enjoyed all of it. This final project was also a lot of work, but it was a ton of fun to do. I knew I wanted to use the ground be... -
Final Evidence
Dear World, I think I figured it out. And I think this is the end. I knew there was something fishy going on at the CDE and so I decided to go there and investigate myself. I snuck through the gates on the back of a truck and poked around the office. I... -
Surveillance Footage
I found some online footage fo the CDE’s surveillance footage from the day that the meat delivery was made. I combed through all the clips and found a couple I thought were interesting. I want to try to identify one of the guys in the clip with t... -
Sam Miller Evidence
I did a little digging and found some stuff on the Sam Miller person who wrote that note I found… The first thing I found was this business card. I think she might have something to do with what is going on with The End. She works for the... -
Evidence Found Downtown
Okay, guys, this is super weird. I was at Katora in Downtown Fredericksburg and I found this note shoved in between the couch cushions. Because I am so nosey I decided to open it up and read it. When I first read through it I thought it was super weird... -
Week 12, Nearing the End
As we get closer to the End, we get closer to the end of the year! Next week is my last week of undergrad and I don’t know where the time has gone? I feel like it was just yesterday that I started school. This week was a lot of work for this clas... -

What do you meme?
For my final 2 stars, I wanted to do something that I was passionate. Something that I like to spend my time doing. And that is looking at memes. I think this whole book is very interesting, but especially that people got visions of Mother Abigail and ... -
The Stand in GIFs
Okay. So I lied. This isn’t the entirety of The Stand. This is the entirety of the first two parts of The Stand miniseries. You see, Stephen King went out and wrote such an incredibly long and complex novel that they couldn’t j... -
May, Oklahoma Postcard
For three more stars I made a postcard from May, Oklahoma! This location in the book and miniseries of The Stand stood out to me because of the mannequins. I thought they were so creepy and weird and I feel like they heightened the apocalyptic feeling ... -
Mother Abagail’s To-do List
by @shayfinnz April 16, 2018For two of my stars, I decided to make a to-do list for Abagail Freeman! I just used the post-it note app on my computer that I use to make lists and put down some of the things I thought she might need to do. This was really easy and definitely only w... -

Supercut It
First things first, I stan Cillian Murphy. So when I was trying to decide what movie to watch I knew I was going to want to watch “28 Days Later”. After thoroughly enjoying this movie, although it was scarier than I expected, I was ready to... -
It’s not Ben 10, it’s Week 10
