4 Things To Crush Writer's Block
Odyssey

I tend to have a lot of writer's block. I sometimes don't know what to write for my articles. If you don't know what writer's block is, I'll tell you. Writer's block is when you don't know what you are really going to write about. Or you have a clog in your head that you can't seem to type something out. It's really a bad thing to have. But I have a couple little things to help you get over that hump of writer's block. Here are the four things that help you with writer's block.

1. Sleep

Sleep really helps you think. Sleep is the best thing that a brain needs. If you are having writer's block, do this and you might really wake up with dope ideas. Sleep relieves you from so much stress because you are literally getting it all out when you sleep. Isn't that a good thing?

2. Play a sport you like or go exercise

This really helps your mind get off that hump of having nothing to write about. Working out or playing sports helps you get your mind off that and get's you focused on that specific sport.You will have many great ideas after you play for a couple of hours. Exercising is a good way to energize your mind. You will feel charged up like the energizer bunny.

3. Give your brain some actual "Brain food"


Food is really a great helper. Food helps you fuel your mind with helpful nutrients and many other things. If it wasn't for food, most writer's block wouldn't have went away. When you have food, it calms you down. It makes you think about how a paper can be great and also it makes you think about how delicious the food is.

4. Write out the first things that come to your mind on a piece of paper

Writing things out is really a good way to express yourself. It helps you think of ideas you really didn't know you were capable of coming up with. Writing ideas helps you narrow down what you really want to talk about. It helps you get out all the silly things in your head when you first do it. But I think writing out is so dope because that's where all your best papers come from. Writing papers is the best tool for getting out of writer's block.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
