I know that sometimes even the best writers hit a wall and cannot think of what to write about, especially under the pressures of the public, deadlines, and personal interests. With that being said, here are a few ideas for what to write about when you can't think of anything.

1. A social issue you are passionate about

If you are into politics or have a really strong social stance about a topic, you can always write an article on an opinion that you have. If you are really passionate and informed on this topic then you can probably write something rather quickly if you are on a time crunch. Opinion articles are great because it allows you to voice your opinion on an issue, and could potentially have an impact on your community or society as a whole.

2. An activity that you're involved in

If you have a funny story to share from an activity that you're involved in, especially if it is a popular activity then people would probably be interested in knowing that story. BAM! Easy writing topic! If it is a lesser known activity than you could inform people about that activity and maybe make some new supporters or participants in that particular activity!

3. If all else fails, write about your favorite TV show

I know that I personally could go on and on about my favorite TV show. The issue with this one and why I say "if all else fails" is because you can only talk about your favorite TV show so many times before you get repetitive, or people become uninterested in what you are writing about, especially if it is not a show that many people know about.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
