I have to put out new content by Thursday. I should probably spit something out early so I can get it out the way. I would, except I have nothing to write about. Let me just calm down, there has to be something I can write about. Let me think…

I could write a “To the girl who…” article! Those titles just pull the reader in. So clever and cute. I bet no one will be writing an article that starts off as “To the girl who….” Wait. I just saw like five last week. I think they’re becoming too mainstream, and if I want views I need to be clever. People are going to get tired of reading those.

I could write about Thanksgiving!!!! It’s relevant, trending, and everyone loves Thanksgiving. Honestly, I am not really in a festive fall mood. Don’t get me wrong, I am thankful and excited for this holiday and the people I’ll be surrounded with. But since I’m not with my family and friends this Thanksgiving, I think it would depress me more than make me happy. I have to be in the zone while I’m sitting by the fire, looking at my crazy family, and smiling in the midst of the chaos. Instead, I have doing nothing but homework, feeling lonely and jealous of everyone who gets to see their family. Oh gosh, I’m getting emotional just thinking about it. I need a moment.

What if, I wrote some religious content? I go to a Christian school and I’m Christian. It makes perfect sense that I would want to use my talent to glorify God. Normally, if I have the urge to write something religious, it would have been placed on my heart for a while now. I should take a while to be silent and let God reveal what He wants me to write about. Nothing. I got nothing. Interesting. Welp, there goes that idea. Not this week, folks.

I could write about something that has been booming in politics lately which is…..I don’t know I’m really not into politics. The only time I’ve ever been into politics is during the election, and I am DEFINITELY NOT writing about the election. That was so 2 weeks ago. People have destroyed that topic, and it’s so controversial. I’d rather not receive hate tweets for my opinion. I’ll keep that to myself.

I could write about how much I love schoo-yeah, no. No need to lie to my audience.

Well, it seems I literally have nothing to write about. This is embarrassing. Ehhh, I’ll think of something soon. I mean, it’s not like I have a deadline to meet or people counting on me. Until then, I shall nap. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. WAIT. I could write about when I have nothing to write about! No, that’s stupid.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
