I guarantee you, no one will guess what my favorite photo is. This is the type of thing that no one really thinks about. Here’s some hints: I never took this photo, and I never edited this photo. This is something I have in person as well as in photo. Lastly, this photo contains so …
I saw this assignment originally two weeks ago, but I decided to wait for a better moment to do this assignment. The moment to do this activity has arrived. As soon as I saw this, I immediately thought of Snapchat. I used to edit people off the social media app all the time and always …
For this assignment, I did Quote Me On That, where we had to, “Share a quote (or quotes) from a reading you’ve done and explain what interests you about it.” Hey! we had two reading options this week, how about that. I already talked about how I really like the quote, “stories decode and encode,” […]
For this assignment, I decided to ask myself the timeless Shakespearean question, What’s In A Name? (And the not-so timeless Dave Matthews-ian question, Could I Have Been Anyone Other Than Me?) For this assignment, I had to, “Write a blog in which you tell us something, anything, about either your given names or your blog […]
As soon as I saw this post, I got super excited. I loved the idea of creating a story with someone else. Writing is something I enjoy doing in my pass time, and I thought this would be a great way to spend time with my suite-mate, who is also in this class. When I …
Since I was a young, my mom would show me pictures and things from not just my past, but also her past. She would show me old letters and photos, etc. I may not be good at history, but I loved it nonetheless. There is power that comes with the past, and sometimes an extreme …
This week I tried out the assignment, Another Day from the writing category. The details for this assignment is as follows: “People often forget about how beautiful the world is, the way the trees blow in the wind, how flowers bloom in the spring and how amazing the grass feels on our feet. We come […]
This writing assignment I chose is called Welcome to Paradise! where you have to write about your dream vacation, where you would go and why, and who would you bring with you. One of my dream places to visit is Cabo San Lucas in Mexico because I have never left the east coast before other […]
Honestly, I think about this all the time. If I got to pick when I was born, what year would I pick? What would I change about my family? About my life? Friends? Where would I live, if anywhere in the world? Would I be different? Would I still be me? I’m usually in my …
This assignment caught my attention real quick, and the first reason why was because of it’s cover photo. When I clicked on the assignment, I laughed at the idea of thinking what situation would lead up to that particular moment. I thought of a 100 reasons, then when I realized I could make up the …
I was inspired to try the assignment, Monologue Of A Household Tool from reading Blue Butterball’s post, What 80s Household Tool Am I? It made me think about all of the tools from the past that aren’t around anymore because they’ve been replaced by the latest and greatest thing. Technology is always replacing itself. It […]
This assignment I chose is called A Snapshot of a Story where you have to create a haiku about your favorite myth, legend, or tale. I chose the 5 second rule because its a very funny rule that many people follow sometimes, myself included, even though it is completely false. Here is my haiku on […]
This writing assignment I chose is called Who Inspires You where you have to choose someone who you admire or who inspires you and write about them and why you admire them or why they inspire you. I chose to write about Steve Jobs because he is a very inspirational person to me. Also, I […]
For this writing assignment, I chose Monologue Of A Household Tool where I have to write a monologue from the perspective of a household tool. I am using a household tool from the 80s to go along with the 80s theme. Here is my monologue, so try and guess what 80s household tool am I. […]
Jump Back For this assignment, I had to Write a Movie Review from the writing assignment category. The task for this assignment was to “write a review of a movie. Don’t be afraid to use images, GIFs, and clips to support your discussion, but focus on the text. Make an argument about the film, no […]
Mashup Take 1 For my next assignment, I chose to Take Any Two Songs (Similar Or Not) And Create A Mashup/Remix! from the audio assignment category. The task for this assignment was pretty straightforward: “Create a new mashup by combining any two songs you feel fitting for a mashup! You would be surprised at some […]
Something I always wished I could do and was good at is Photoshop and graphic design. I am horribly un-creative and struggle greatly trying to think up of anything unique. However, I do like to challenge myself and see if I can do something, even if I don’t think I can. While figuring out my …
For my first assignment I chose, Movie Posters That Matter from the visual assignment category. The instruction for this assignment was to: “modify a movie poster with a title and slug for an issue that means something to you or provides a launch point for discussion on a social issue.” There were many excellent 80’s […]
I picked this activity because I was curious as to what words that I use that I feel are common but aren’t. I wrote about this story because it related to the theme during this semester and because I have so many memories of listening to 80s music with my dad. I tried thinking of …
While looking for assignments to pick out of, I found that there was an assignment bank for coding. While being a coding nerd myself, I had to check it out. Even though there was only one thing listed, I was excited to even do it. I’m trying to minor in computer science, and for awhile …
For the last part of the digital media I wanted to include in my final story I wanted to have a conclusion for my character in showing her final moments caught on tape. I started with simply filming myself pretending to cry and be sacred in my closet, which was kinda fun and also kinda…
