Thoughts You Have When You Don't Know What To Write About

If you're like me, or any kind of writer for that matter, whether it be school papers, Odyssey, or for anything else, you have probably come across a little feeling called writer's block. This little stinker of a feeling hits you hard and you're left feeling helpless and a little foolish. Don't worry, you're not alone, because pretty much everyone goes through this. Reading this and not sure if what you are experiencing is writer's block? Here are some thoughts everyone experiencing writer's block has:

Hmm...my article is due in a few days.

Better get started on that.

What to write about, what to write about...

Let's see, I could do something funny,

Or something serious.

I wonder what everyone else is writing about.

Why couldn't we just be assigned what to write about?

Oh right, because then I would hate the topic and complain.

I should really work on that habit of complaining so much...

So...what is important and relevant and interesting that I could write about?

...

Nothing...literally nothing.

...

I could write about puppies! Everyone loves puppies!

But that would not be very important to the world...

Puppies are important in my world though...

Hmm...maybe an article about something serious...

Wow, why do I not know anything important going on in the world today?

I am a terrible person for not being informed...

OK, so nothing serious...

Oh! I know! What about being healthy?

Well, maybe not, because I'm not exactly the greatest role model sitting here binge-watching Netflix.

Well...it isn't due for a few more days. I have time!

Shoot! I completely forgot about my article! It's due today!

I don't even have an idea!

What am I going to do...

OK, think, think, think...

Already ruled out puppies...

And stuff about being healthy...

And serious things...

Wow, writing is hard!

Why do we have to do this again?

Oh right, because we want to learn things and be smart.

Well, this is not making me feel smart...

OK! I'm thinking of a topic, a topic, a topic...

Maybe if I put some music on it will help...

...

Good song!

Didn't help.

...

OK! I cannot think of anything...

I am the most unimaginative person ever!

What if I wrote an article about writer's block?

Maybe I could even throw in a picture of a puppy or something!

Yeah, sounds good!

Alright! Article, here we go!

...

Now how do I start it?

...

Just some thoughts I had while trying to decide what to write this week. If you have ever experienced writer's block, I sympathize with you. It really stinks! But do not worry, your creative juices will flow eventually!

Hang in there guys!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
