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!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
