15 Topics To Beat Writer's Block!

If you are anything like me, you can't ever just sit down and think of things to write about. For all my posts, I think all week about what I'm going to post. This week, however, I couldn't decide, so I decided to create a helpful post with 15 topic ideas for where you get the terrible thing that is writer's block! Enjoy!

1. Write about your travels!

Did you go to Disney? What about a far away fairy tale place? I want to hear about it!

2. Write a funny story about trading places with one of your friends!

Imagine how weird it would be to wake up in your friend's body...

3. Write about that thing that you are saving up for. Is it a new car? College? Tell us about it!

All those hours of work have to be for something!

4. Tell about your platform if you were running for president.

5. All the things wrong with your school or college.

We know there are things you don't like... come on, admit it.

6. Bad date ideas.

Like visiting a graveyard, or even worse, McDonald's...

7. An open letter to college textbooks. Why do they have to be so expensive?!?

Stupid college ugh.

8. A post with your top ten favorite Disney Movies.

There are so many to choose from! I didn't think it would actually be this hard...

9. A ranking of the best Marvel characters.

Here's a helpful little graphic to help you out!!

10. Write about a movie all about your life. Who would play you? What would your theme song be?

I think I want Emma Watson to play me.... hmmm if only!!

11. Create an outrageous birthday card! What would the message be? How about the decorations and theme?

What is this going to the bathroom without my phone thing?? I don't know her.

12. Write about your favorite music festival.

Coachella or Lollapalooza, there are so many to choose from!

13. What you would talk about on "Girl code".

The original BuzzFeed.

14. Your favorite DIY projects.

Isn't this amazing!

15. A list of things you'll never do again.

Who knew it existed??

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
