4 Things To Crush Writer's Block
Odyssey

I tend to have a lot of writer's block. I sometimes don't know what to write for my articles. If you don't know what writer's block is, I'll tell you. Writer's block is when you don't know what you are really going to write about. Or you have a clog in your head that you can't seem to type something out. It's really a bad thing to have. But I have a couple little things to help you get over that hump of writer's block. Here are the four things that help you with writer's block.

1. Sleep

Sleep really helps you think. Sleep is the best thing that a brain needs. If you are having writer's block, do this and you might really wake up with dope ideas. Sleep relieves you from so much stress because you are literally getting it all out when you sleep. Isn't that a good thing?

2. Play a sport you like or go exercise

This really helps your mind get off that hump of having nothing to write about. Working out or playing sports helps you get your mind off that and get's you focused on that specific sport.You will have many great ideas after you play for a couple of hours. Exercising is a good way to energize your mind. You will feel charged up like the energizer bunny.

3. Give your brain some actual "Brain food"


Food is really a great helper. Food helps you fuel your mind with helpful nutrients and many other things. If it wasn't for food, most writer's block wouldn't have went away. When you have food, it calms you down. It makes you think about how a paper can be great and also it makes you think about how delicious the food is.

4. Write out the first things that come to your mind on a piece of paper

Writing things out is really a good way to express yourself. It helps you think of ideas you really didn't know you were capable of coming up with. Writing ideas helps you narrow down what you really want to talk about. It helps you get out all the silly things in your head when you first do it. But I think writing out is so dope because that's where all your best papers come from. Writing papers is the best tool for getting out of writer's block.

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.

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.

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.
