Writer's block is the absolute worst.

The worst.

Especially if you're a writer. I literally rewrote three different article ideas multiple times before I gave up and deleted them all. Then cried a little. Then drank some tea. Then fell asleep.

I was a mess.

It can be SO hard to get yourself going when you don't know what to write. So if you're stuck, like I was this week (obviously), then take a look at these article ideas you can use next time you get the dreaded "block".

1. Your bucket list

2. Things you keep in your purse

3. All the things you can't live without

4. Your 10 favorite breakfast recipes

5. Music review

6. Movie review

7. Book review (you get the point)

8. Best places to eat in your town (everyone loves a hometown article)

9. Favorite drinks (alcoholic or not)

10. What you want to do when you grow up

11. Best stores for online shopping

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.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
