College Kickstart

For most college students, classes have either already started or are getting ready to start within the next week or two. With that in mind, everyone is now going to be scrambling to study for their next exam, to finish that four to five-page paper, or hanging out with friends on a Friday night-this means that the fact that you have an article due during the week stray to the back of your mind, where it stays until you release that it's the due date and you have nothing out there yet.

Never fear! It happens to everyone! But what happens when you cannot even think of an article idea when you actually remember?
