Coming Up With Articles Ideas Is Easy, But Actually Writing Them Can Be Hard

Considering I have been trying to decide on an article topic for the entire week, I am going to write a string of ideas that I had that seemingly went nowhere and have no substance to create a written piece about.

Coming Up With Articles Ideas Is Easy, But Actually Writing Them Can Be Hard

Writing an article every Friday is very rewarding. Having an entire week to decide on an idea, take about one or two days to think of how to approach the idea, and then set out about an hour to write and edit the piece to my liking, and finally submit the writing for revision and hope that our editors enjoy my five-hundred word article about what most likely revolves around Niall Horan or "Life Lessons" (I'm only nineteen and I have learned very little of what life actually means, thus far) or Internet-related topics.

Winter Break at UCF allowed me to travel the four hours home to Cape Coral for the week of Christmas and I didn't focus on prepping articles for upcoming weeks (as I try to do), and getting back to working retail with the return season of holiday consumers and guests and failing to organize my bedroom like I have been promising myself I would accomplish for a week , I haven't focused on an article idea, once again.

Here I am, at 11:00 P.M. on Friday, with my article due in one hour, and I have absolutely nothing written.

Am I disappointed? Yes. Am I surprised? No.

But, instead of writing an article about something fake that I actually didn't take any time to think about and contemplate, I am going to write a string of ideas that I had that seemingly went nowhere and have no substance to create a written piece about.

Happy Reading!

Here we are, with a giant list of ideas that my brain has been accumulating but I have failed to write about. Have I started these articles? One of them! Do I plan on writing on those ideas? Maybe! Do I think the articles will be coming soon? Probably not!

I have the worst case of procrastination in the entire world, but I work spectacularly under pressure.

PERFECT EXAMPLE: I have now finished this article and it is 11:57 P.M.

Concluding, I suck at writing about the ideas in my head, but I know that my anxiety to work under pressure will save me.

So, thank you for reading this monstrosity.

See ya soon!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
