A Content Creator's Guide To Beating Writer's Block

Alexa's Fotos

In a frenzy to complete my article this week, I was in dire search of a topic to produce. I asked all of my friends for their ideas, seeing that I was in a writer's block. I hope these ideas will come to be of use for some other contributing author who is in a writer's rut.

1. Fall (Seasonal) Fashions

Super quick and easy listicle you can complete by compiling your favorite clothing for a certain time of the year.

2. Easy DIY Halloween Costumes

Go a step further and make it last minute DIY costumes. I encourage the use of Pinterest to search for ideas.

3. Holiday Gift Ideas

Hint to this one: list everything that you want for your birthday or the holidays. Make sure to send it to your friends! *winks*

4. Why You Should Be A Feminist

I mean, why aren't you already?

5. Why Donald Trump Should Be Dumped

With a president so controversial, you decided either why he should be kept or thrown into the garbage can.

6. Melania Trump Conspiracy: Does she have a double?

Or discuss your favorite conspiracy theories. Mine include the Mandala Effect, and the Disney Universe conspiracy (look them up, it's worth your time, trust me).

7. How Much College Applications Stink

What?! They do!

8. Best Candy/Foods During the Holidays

Candy canes, candy corn, potato pancakes, turkey, etc.

9. Fun Things To Do In Fall (or any of the other 3 seasons!)

I mean, this could be useful when all you do is sit at home and sleep. Honestly, it sounds like an article I need to read.

10. Why Are Exit Signs Red Instead Of Purple?

Or other thoughts you have in the shower.

11. Guys, College Is Scary

Yes, yes it is.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

144

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. 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.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

104

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Because Chandler Bing should be everyone's spirit animal.

Stetson University

Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
