10 Things to Write About When You Have Writer's Block

Odyssey articles are hard to come up with a topic for week after week. Being consistently clever is hard work. Everyone wants to find that idea that's going to get them good feedback. That could be hard-hitting news, commentary on society, funny stuff, or weird things that you've witnessed. Let's be real, though: Sometimes you're just not feeling the news and/or pop culture trends. And who wants to put words down for the sake of showing your opinion on something you aren't all that passionate about?

So, I've come up with a list of things to write about if you've got writer's block.

1. Name Beyonce's Twins

Queen Bey announced (in the most liked Instagram picture of all time) that she is pregnant with twins this week. Just FYI. If we're keeping with the trend set by her daughter Blue Ivy, these will probably be named Green Moss and Purple Kudzu. This could be a fun article.

2. Guess Where the Next Idiotic Protest Will Happen


LOL @ UC Berkeley. Another one is bound to happen, but where? Who will be the speaker? How many snowflakes will be arrested? The possibilities are endless.

3. Challenge the "Muslim Ban"

I couldn't find a gif of Donald Trump saying he was going to ban all Muslims forever. Or that this Executive Order blocked all majority Muslim countries, not just 7 of them. Huh? Funny. Guess it isn't a "Muslim Ban" after all.

4. Predict the Super Bowl

Even if it's the middle of the year, do it. Make a completely arbitrary pick, I don't care. If you accurately predict the Super Bowl in June, it'll have to go on your resume.

5. Rank the Halftime Shows

Maybe the game isn't you thing. But the Halftime Show may be. So rank them. Show us flopped and who mopped the floor with who.

LEFT SHARK FOR THE WIN!

6. Name Your Supreme Court Pick

I've got mine. I think we all agree it's about time Judge Judy got the recognition she deserves.

7. Write Down Everything You Eat


That's something people probably don't care about, which makes it the perfect article. Also, pics or it didn't happen.

8. Give Your Oscar Picks


Anybody think Isabelle Huppert (Who?) is going to win for Elle (What?)? What about Viggo Mortenson (Ooh, I know that one.) for Captain Fantastic (Wait, what?)? Yeah, neither do I. Pick them!

9. Pretend a Movie Not Nominated for an Oscar Is

Aren't you guys so excited for Doctor Strange's nomination for Best Picture! I bet it's going to win!

10. Write a List of Things to Write About When You Don't Know What to Write

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
