I'm going to be real with you for a second: I've had a horrible case of writer's block.

Usually, writing is what I do to escape, but now more than ever, it seems like all creativity has been sucked out of me. So this week's Odyssey article will be a train of thought, a nonsensical pile of word vomit that will hopefully get rid of this block in my mind.

You can read this, but I will warn you it's going to make no sense.

I'm super stressed.

Maybe that's why I'm like this. Or maybe it's because I've just been doing so much work. I need to destress: maybe pet some dogs or something. I don't know.

I saw three dogs today and pet only one of them. I missed out on petting two dogs. Grr, Allegra.

Speaking of my name, people always compare me to the allergy medication so I'm going to clear something up: I was born in January of 1998. Legit the medication named Allegra came out later that year and thus began the train of people asking my mom if she named me after the medication.

Allegra means 'happy' or 'joyful' in Italian and I'm Italian. That's where my name comes from.

Alright, alright enough about my name, let's see, what else did I do today?

I went to Panera and picked up food to eat after my Accounting class, so I have that to look forward to. I went with my lovely boyfriend because he needed to go to Party City which was next to the Panera.

He's such a great guy, I'm super lucky. He's going places, hell, he's already there, you know? Has it ever occurred to you that people are super successful at our age? Like, I'm 20 years old and there are some actors that are my age and younger that are uber successful.

Whenever I discover someone who's my age and talented I'm like 'Wow that's insane.'

If you're still reading this, good for you, I appreciate it. Sometimes you need to ramble a bit. It's like letting the trash escape from your mind. And being a college student, my mind has a lot of trash.

A song from the 90s came on the radio the other day and I knew every single word. Like, that's taking up space in my brain. It explains why I can't memorize anything. Like, why are the words to Nicki Minaj's Super Bass taking up space in my head?

Like I said, it's brain trash. And sometimes, you need to take the brain trash out.

Wow, I feel way better! Thank you for letting me get that clutter out of my brain.
