21 Moments Of Being A Writer As Told by K-Pop
Amber Liu Fan Page

If you're like me, you may understand the stress and fun of being a writer. I also love K-Pop. What better way to express my writerly self that with my favorite music genre? Take a look into my emotions and thoughts as I write every day.

1. When I have an idea for a story but I lose it as soon as I open my journal.

2. When I ask myself, "When will I finish this story?"

And when someone ask me that same question.

3. When a reader finds an interesting metaphor or theory in my story that I didn't notice until now.

4. When I tell people I major in creative writing and they say, "Good luck finding a job with that degree."

And what I want to do on the inside.

(I do not condone violence.)

5. When they say they'll read my work but never mention it again.

6. When someone compliments my work.

7. When someone only says, "It was interesting."

8. When someone points out grammatical errors.

9. When someone starts to critique my work with "I like it, but..."

On the outside, I'm like:

But on the inside, I'm like:

10. When I get a new writing prompt.

11. When I finally have an idea for my story.

12. When I finish my story.

13. When I contemplate if I should submit my work or not.

14. When I submit my poems and stories to a publication company (online).

15. When I thought they would publish my work.

But then I receive a rejection letter from them.

16. When I meet people who are into writing as much as I am.

17. When I'm with my writing squad.

18. When I write a poem/story in one day.

19. When I edit that same poem/story on the next day.

20. When I start doubting myself and question my humanity while editing that same poem/story.

21. When I tell myself that no matter what, I will continue to improve myself as a writer from the critiques and compliments by others because it's what I love and do.

So whether I'm working on my poems or writing the next Odyssey article, now you know what's going through my mind.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
