Why I Haven't Been Feeling Inspired
Story Bistro

I have always loved writing, and it's something that comes naturally to me, but recently I haven't been able to write anything at all. This school year is putting a strain on my creativity, and all I can think about is getting my work in on time and making good grades on tests. I guess some people call it writer’s block, but I don't really like to label. I have had no motivation for the past month, and all I do when I get home from a tiring school day is sleep. I have tried every tip to be more inspired and nothing has worked. I came to the conclusion this week that I need to take more time for myself to just let my creativity flow and not worry about college. I know that college is important, but school only lasts for so long and then what? I want my creativity to be bigger than the importance of my college degree. Everyone can go to high school and college, but not everyone can create and be able to express their thoughts in a unique way. I’m not the best at school and getting good grades, but I’d like to think that I'm good at photography or writing because to me, those are the most important traits. I want to put out the best content I possibly can and lately that hasn't been me. So for right now I do have writer's block or a lack of motivation, but I'm not going to let that stop me from letting my thoughts flow onto a piece of paper ever so gracefully.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
