I Can't Think Of Anything To Write About

My mind is blank.

I Can't Think Of Anything To Write About
Picjumbo

I've been writing for the Odyssey for almost two years. That's over one hundred articles, with a new one due each week. Coming up with something captivating to write every Wednesday is no easy task, especially when you're not paid to do it and are also trying to balance college and work. So today, I'm going to do something a little different, because I just can't think of anything to write about.

College is the usual.

Go to class.

Skip class.

Sleep through class.

Take notes as fast as you can.

Powerpoints. Presentations. Posters. Papers.

Endless papers.

Nothing new, and I still can't think of anything to write about.

Politics is the usual.

Trump said this. Trump said that.

The right wants this, and the left demands that.

Trump tweeted, again?

Another school shooting.

A volatile stock market.

Marches. Movements. Media meltdowns.

It's all madness.

Nothing new, and I still can't think of anything to write about.

These are few of my favorite things:

The color green.

Mac n' cheese.

My bed.

Football.

Vodka and cranberry.

Movie days.

But this is nothing new, and I still can't think of anything to write about.

Adulting sucks.

The sink is full of dishes.

The electric bill needs to be paid.

Trash day is Tuesday, and only Tuesday.

I can't afford groceries this week.

Tuition is 3 months overdue.

It's fine. I'm fine.

Nothing new, and I still can't think of anything to write about.

I'm racking my brain.

Gun control.

Surviving college.

Staying motivated.

Making new friends.

Losing friends.

Anxiety.

Sports.

Underage drinking.

Good grades.

Family.

Nothing new - been there, written that.

I can't think of anything to write this week. Maybe my brain is dead, or maybe there's just nothing exciting to tell the world.

So there, I've written a bunch of something about absolutely nothing. And it'll have to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
