If you are anything like me, you can't ever just sit down and think of things to write about. For all my posts, I think all week about what I'm going to post. This week, however, I couldn't decide, so I decided to create a helpful post with 15 topic ideas for where you get the terrible thing that is writer's block! Enjoy!

1. Write about your travels!

Did you go to Disney? What about a far away fairy tale place? I want to hear about it!

2. Write a funny story about trading places with one of your friends!

Imagine how weird it would be to wake up in your friend's body...

3. Write about that thing that you are saving up for. Is it a new car? College? Tell us about it!

All those hours of work have to be for something!

4. Tell about your platform if you were running for president.

5. All the things wrong with your school or college.

We know there are things you don't like... come on, admit it.

6. Bad date ideas.

Like visiting a graveyard, or even worse, McDonald's...

7. An open letter to college textbooks. Why do they have to be so expensive?!?

Stupid college ugh.

8. A post with your top ten favorite Disney Movies.

There are so many to choose from! I didn't think it would actually be this hard...

9. A ranking of the best Marvel characters.

Here's a helpful little graphic to help you out!!

10. Write about a movie all about your life. Who would play you? What would your theme song be?

I think I want Emma Watson to play me.... hmmm if only!!

11. Create an outrageous birthday card! What would the message be? How about the decorations and theme?

What is this going to the bathroom without my phone thing?? I don't know her.

12. Write about your favorite music festival.

Coachella or Lollapalooza, there are so many to choose from!

13. What you would talk about on "Girl code".

The original BuzzFeed.

15. A list of things you'll never do again.

While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
