As a writer and an artist, I have some days where I'm truley inspired. But, most of the time, I can't figure out what to draw or write about. I'll ask friends, family, and my significant other to give me ideas, but I can't seem to think of things on my own.

If you're like me, you understand what I mean. Well, fear not, dear reader. I am here to save you (I hope).

Below is a list of things to try to inspire or give you an idea. I hope it helps.

Writing prompts:

Write a story about your favorite animal conquering one of your fears
Write a childrens book with 8 pages, and a minimum of five words per page. Make it about a person struggling with a disorder
Take the definitions of your favorite words, and describe it as a color
Write twelve words on a page, make different sentences using all of those words at least once
Write a letter to future you
Write a letter to past you
Write about your favorite seasons
Time Travel, where would you go?
Describe a shape without using the name itself
Write a story about your perfect day

Drawing prompts:

Draw your favorite animal playing your favorite sport
Draw an emotion
Google mandalas, do that
Draw a new album cover for your favorite song or album
Animate an inanimate object
Draw your ideal house
Draw a door, but on the otherside, your biggest fear
Design a tattoo for you or a friend
Body art: Reinvent yourself with your own drawings... use washable ink
Get angry: Draw a swear word (or 10) but make them fragile looking

I hope this helped you create beauttiful things.

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.
