As a writer for the Odyssey, coming up with a new topic to write about each week can be challenging at times. It becomes especially difficult when no current event or possible listicle ranking your favorite take-out pizza sounds appealing. Should I write about how hard my major is, or should I write about what I had for lunch and why it was the greatest thing ever? So many options are available but so few decisions are made. Instead of staring at my computer screen trying to come up with a topic idea after googling "article ideas" for four straight hours, I finally decided on one: an article about what to write about when you don't know what to write about. It sounds perfect to me. To all my fellow writers out there having trouble coming up with an interesting article idea that might be worth-reading, this list is for you. So, here is a list of 25 topics to write about when writer's block hits you too hard.
