How To Create A Killer Blog

Never let writer's block be an excuse.

How To Create A Killer Blog
UVM Bored

If you are an aspiring writer, then the best way to get started is to make your own personal blog. You can catch an audience, and while they may only be your Facebook friends at first, your creative voice will still be out there. In the beginning, posts are easy, for you feel as if there are a million ideas to write about. Unfortunately, writer’s block is real, and your abundance of ideas will slowly dwindle down into nothing. Here are some topics to write about if you are feeling stuck:

1. Recipe.

Everyone loves food! Dig up your old favorite recipe, and share it to the world. I’m sure many will appreciate it.

2. Personal experience.

If you really cannot think of anything new, think about something old. Share a funny childhood memory. I bet people will get a laugh out of it.

3. Interview.

Do you have someone you look up to? What about your favorite professor, if you are still in college? Pose a question and answer post. It’s something that differs from the norm.

4. List.

Facebookers love lists. Usually, people scroll on their feeds to pass the time so they want to read articles quickly. Why do you think Buzzfeed is a huge hit? 10 is a solid number to start with, and anything above 20 is overwhelming.

5. Your local community.

People love to read things that are relatable. Talk about fun activities to do in your hometown, or make jokes about your high school. It could blow up if enough people read it.

6. Travel.

Most people have gone on a vacation in their lives and usually would like to go on another one. Talk about your best trip ever, and give travel tips. You never know who might be itching to go there.

7. Work of fiction.

Let your creativity flow. Make a short story, and if you want, then you can start a series. Who knows? Maybe you can develop of fan base.

8. Pets.

Animals are great, and often, hilarious. Talk about the funny things your pet has done since you adopted it. Pictures are an added bonus.

9. “An Open Letter.”

Write something you have always wanted to say to your mom, best friend, ex-boyfriend, etc. I am sure you have many people who have made an impact in your life. Thank them for it, but please, do not title your post, “An Open Letter To…” It’s too cliche and people won’t want to read it.

10. How To…

Have some knowledge about something? Do exactly what I did, and share your wisdom with others.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
