20 Topics To Write About When You Have Writer's Block

We all have instances where we don’t know what to write about. The dreaded writer’s block that possesses us at times where we most need our brain to ooze with the art of creativity. Whether you’re writing an essay, or like me, writing an article for Odyssey, writer’s block shows no mercy in entering your mind like a brick and blocking out any and all ideas. If you’re in a pickle like I am, here are BLANK things to write about when writer’s block is just too much.

1. Your life

Might as well get started writing the one thing you might know more about, eh?

2. Something embarrassing that's happened to you

You may not want to remember it, but the rest of us are dying to hear it.

3. Your favorite subject in school

Why not write about why you love math so much? Maybe you'll end up convincing one of us.

4. Politics

We all dread the arguments, but we all have something to say.

5. Favorite hobby

Do you collect rocks? Sing karaoke on the weekends? Share your views with the world and let us know why your hobby is worth doing.

6. An Open Letter

Write a letter to your high school English teacher, to your best friend, or the boy who left you behind. Anything goes, and open letters are super relatable.

7. A cause you are passionate about

Are you passionate about LGBTA+ rights? Do you believe that everyone deserves equal pay? Do you hate the way things are being handled by the government? Speak your opinions and open up to those who relate, and those you want to inform.

8. A review

Write about that movie that wasn't worth the $10 movie ticket, I'm sure others will appreciate the early warning to save their money.

9. A place you think others should visit

Do you love going hiking at a specific spot? Have your heart set on exploring the streets of New York?

10. Your least favorite food

So tell me, why do you think oysters taste bad?

11. Your biggest fear

12. Why you're studying the thing you're studying?

Biology? But why?

13. Reasons why you love someone

14. Reasons why you don't love someone

15. Things you think everyone should experience

Do you think going on a mission trip is the best thing to ever experience? Say something.

16. Something that irritates you

17. Something you love

Whether it'd be music or writing.

18. Something you've never said out loud

19. Something you want to tell someone

20. Write about a dream you've had

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

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.
