Writer's Block And How To Cure It
Bay Side Journal

Writers block, it's a pain, but at the same time it happens to all of us at some point or another. So here are some ideas to help when you have writers block.

1. Listen to music

It might get juices flowing. Your creativity might come out when you listen to music you like. The music can relax you. When having writers block it is easy to get stressed and try to force yourself to write something when there is nothing there. So why not try to relax and listen to music.

2. Write

When having writer's block you don't want to write, but one of the best things is to write it out. Not having to write something specific makes it easier to write. When you have a deadline and you have writer's block it makes it more difficult to write. So just writing for fun might help get rid of that blankness that is stopping you from actually getting ideas out.

3. Look at pictures

If you look at pictures you might get some ideas of what to write. Just looking at different things could help you think of a way to be creative. Whether it is pictures of you and friends, pictures of nature, or even random pictures on the internet. They might spark something that you want to write about.

4. Looking up prompts

When having writers block your mind is completely blank usually. You don't know what to write or you have an idea and just nothing is coming to you to keep you going. I would recommend looking up prompts or even short ideas that you can start with online. There are an array of prompts to help you out and it'll be very helpful to just start you on your way to writing something.

5. Go for a run

When going for a run or doing any type of exercise your mind keeps moving. For me, when I exercise I end up thinking about random things. Exercise just helps me stop stressing and when getting stressed it's hard for someone to write.

6. Write ideas down

If something just pops into your head, write it down in a notebook or put it in your notes in your phone. That way you have something to look back on when you can't think of anything else to write. It helps a lot when need something to write about and need it right away and you don't have time to think about what you want to write.

7. Write about writers block

When not being able to write, why not write about getting rid of writers block, am I right?


Writer's block kind of sucks, but we all go through it. Every writer at least once in their life will have a difficult time thinking of ideas and that's okay. You just need to find the best way for you to get rid of it and maybe it's one of the ideas above and maybe it's something else. Just find what helps you get rid of writer's block.

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.
