What To Do When You Get Writer's Block

9. Watch Some Netflix

It's an hour and 20 minutes before my deadline, and there isn't a single thing coming to mind. As I sit here wondering what to write it hits me, WRITER'S BLOCK! The creative process is not the easiest thing, but here are some things that help me get that process going, and come up with articles such as 8 Signs You Are The Therapist Friend According To Friends, Help Alfredo Find A Girlfriend, and the very famous How Friends University Is Exactly Like Hogwarts.

1. Procrastinate

Yes, you heard me correctly: procrastinate wait until the last minute to write something is about to pop into your brain.

2. Read

I love to read so I always have a book I've been meaning to read, or even assigned reading I had in class, on hand.

3. Go for a run

You tried to skim over this one, but I'm serious! Go out and run, and if you don't want to do that, then think about all the reasons you don't want to go and write an article about that.

4. Clean your room

This will get the creative juices flowing, and you'll have a clean workspace!

5. Wash dishes

This falls under numbers 3 and 4 but it's different because you'll need to eat again and you'll have clean dishes. Yes, you'll have to touch food, but you'll daydream and get a great idea for an article.

6. Listen to some music

So this is fun because music puts you in a great mood to just let your emotions run wild, and whether it's pumped up like "Bohemian Rhapsody," or slow like "Bohemian Rhapsody" (see what I did there?) you'll think of something to write about your ex, happiness, or any life experience.

7. Do some work at work

Maybe if you do some work at work you'll be able to write about Different Types of Bosses or some funny and relatable things about your co-workers.

(If any of my co-workers read this I love you, you're great, and you make work so much better [I'm serious about this.])

8. Sit and observe

Daydreaming is the key to any article, especially if you daydream outside on campus. Then you can come up with articles like The 10 Best Places To Nap At Friends University or How Friends University Is Exactly Like Hogwarts.

9. Watch some Netflix

This is how I wrote How Christina Yang Accurately Describes Adulthood!

10. Think about your most embarrassing moments

This will get you to think about your other childhood stories, or general stories to write about.

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.

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.
