Never let writer's block be an excuse.

How To Create A Killer Blog
UVM Bored

If you are an aspiring writer, then the best way to get started is to make your own personal blog. You can catch an audience, and while they may only be your Facebook friends at first, your creative voice will still be out there. In the beginning, posts are easy, for you feel as if there are a million ideas to write about. Unfortunately, writer’s block is real, and your abundance of ideas will slowly dwindle down into nothing. Here are some topics to write about if you are feeling stuck:

1. Recipe.

Everyone loves food! Dig up your old favorite recipe, and share it to the world. I’m sure many will appreciate it.

2. Personal experience.

If you really cannot think of anything new, think about something old. Share a funny childhood memory. I bet people will get a laugh out of it.

3. Interview.

Do you have someone you look up to? What about your favorite professor, if you are still in college? Pose a question and answer post. It’s something that differs from the norm.

4. List.

Facebookers love lists. Usually, people scroll on their feeds to pass the time so they want to read articles quickly. Why do you think Buzzfeed is a huge hit? 10 is a solid number to start with, and anything above 20 is overwhelming.

5. Your local community.

People love to read things that are relatable. Talk about fun activities to do in your hometown, or make jokes about your high school. It could blow up if enough people read it.

6. Travel.

Most people have gone on a vacation in their lives and usually would like to go on another one. Talk about your best trip ever, and give travel tips. You never know who might be itching to go there.

7. Work of fiction.

Let your creativity flow. Make a short story, and if you want, then you can start a series. Who knows? Maybe you can develop of fan base.

8. Pets.

Animals are great, and often, hilarious. Talk about the funny things your pet has done since you adopted it. Pictures are an added bonus.

9. “An Open Letter.”

Write something you have always wanted to say to your mom, best friend, ex-boyfriend, etc. I am sure you have many people who have made an impact in your life. Thank them for it, but please, do not title your post, “An Open Letter To…” It’s too cliche and people won’t want to read it.

10. How To…

Have some knowledge about something? Do exactly what I did, and share your wisdom with others.

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.
