Allow Me To Waste Your Time Like Writer's Block Wastes Mine

A writer's worst enemy.

Writer's block is a pain in the you know what. Well, I know what but if you need me to spell it out for you, you're probably sitting on it.

Writer's block is a writer's worst enemy. It's a state of mind that is worse than a hangover. Writer's block is so bad- you can't even figure out if you have too many things to say and no idea how to start it or you just have absolutely nothing to say. Zero, zip, nada.

Writer's block is not only the most annoying thing to have ever existed on our planet Earth but it's also the most confusing thing to have ever existed after that Calculus class you once took in high school. Suddenly letters look more like numbers in those math equations than letters look like words in a sentence on your paper.

You ask yourself why is it taking me so long to get words on to paper? Letters into my journal?Procrastination? Laziness? Are my thoughts just not that interesting?

Am I becoming too repetitive?

What are people finding interesting this week?

What did people find interesting last week?

What happened in the news today?

Did our president do something rather, "president like" again?

Scratch that. That's too repetitive.

How about dogs? Everybody loves dogs.

Maybe I can talk about how that yodeling kid from Walmart is taking over th–– let me just stop right here.

There is no other way to describe writer's block other than tragic. Writer's block is the root of all evils. The root of every writer's headaches, migraines, stress, and body aches.

Writer's block has the power to drive a person up the wall, put a writer in the worst of worst moods, and leave them mute for periods too long of a time.

It gets to the point to where you google jokes in an effort to relieve you of this funk, but then you realize you're laughing at jokes that go a little something like this... Writing Rule: Remember, double negatives are a no, no...

That's it, I'm signing off. This was pointless.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
