We've all been there. You sit down to write a paper (or maybe an article) and it hits you. Writer's block. It's like a ball and chain for your thought process. Suddenly, you can't think of anything. No title. No plot-line. No groundbreaking revelations. Your head is full of absolutely nothing.
At first, you give it a shot. Writer's block can be easily be overcome, right? You just try and tap into your imagination.
You've been sitting at your desk "thinking" (texting) for a good 10 minutes, so you go to put pen to paper.
And then you realize you've written either absolute garbage or literally nothing. So you have to think harder.
You start to think about class and whether or not you actually have been paying attention.
And you look through your notes to discover that, no, you in fact have not been paying attention. So it comes as no surprise when you realize that lecture won't be inspiring you on this one.
It's time to look for inspiration elsewhere. But where to begin?
You decide to consult our lord and savior: Beyoncé. She's brilliant. She can help you write your paper. After all, she writes melodious music that speaks to the masses - so obviously her lyrics will spark your own genius.
But clearly you're not Beyoncé, because after listening to 'Formation' approximately 27 times - you give up and turn to homework's ultimate nemesis: Netflix.
When you look at the clock, you feel like you've been slapped hard by the cruel realization that it's been 6 1/2 hours. You watched 13 episodes of 'Property Brothers' and you feel so much shame.
So you finally buckle down and write words. Just any of the words that come to mind - directly onto the page. You get into the flow of things and think that maybe this isn't so bad.
Then you start over completely and finally something clicks. So you finally give it your all (and probably also several cups of coffee).
You go through and thesaurus a few things to make it sound like you didn't do it all the night before.
And finally, there it is. Your precious paper is finally completed. It's beautiful.
You promise yourself that you'll never procrastinate so hard ever again because you never know when writer's block will hit you and ruin everything. But, obviously, the same exact thing is going to happen again next time. So, get ready.
