I Have absolutely Nothing To Write About

No, seriously. This article is about nothing.

I Have absolutely Nothing To Write About
https://www.pexels.com/photo/computer-desk-hand-laptop-374631/

I am completely uninspired this week. There has been nothing interesting or inspirational happen to me, and as a result, I'm completely unsure of what I want this article to be about.

As an Odyssey writer that has to produce content every week, don't you get that way too? Where your mind is so occupied with other things that you don't know what to even talk about? Or nothing interesting has happened this summer that you want to discuss?

Like, okay, yesterday a kid walked in front of my car while I was driving through campus. Sure, I could write an article about how rude it is to walk in front of someone's car while they're driving and are forced to slam down on the breaks, but who would want to read about that? And what would I even title it? Or I could write about the women that went through my cashier line the other day that had really gorgeous purple hair and all we did was talk about how much we hate social media. But what would I even write about? How unique I thought she was, maybe, or how much I hate social media (because lately, I do).

Oh, and this week, I learned what a "pangram" is. It's the term for a sentence that uses every letter of the alphabet once. For instance, everyone knows "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", but there are literally at least ten more, such as "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow". This, I thought, was super cool. There's actually a term for these types of sentences and I had absolutely no idea that that was a thing. It's wild.

Or I could have written about how thankful I am that my mom is in existence, but I already wrote a whole letter dedicated to her months ago. I mean, she deserves all of the letters in the world. She does my laundry and packs my lunch for work for God's sake, and I think that's some click-worthy content. Or how awesome my dad is. Like tonight we spent like, five minutes shoving my mom's place-mats under the door of the closet in the kitchen because I decided it would be funny to lock myself in it for a little while (don't ask questions, okay).

Now, we're supposed to produce good and eye-catching content. I get that. But at the end of the day, I think that this would be an article that I would click on. Why, you ask? Because I think that an article about nothing is a really good idea (now that I think about it anyway). So, I hope that this article about nothing has at least semi-inspired you to write about SOMETHING. And proves that you can write an article about nothing and it could still be at least a little bit interesting.

So here, ladies and gentlemen and aliens, is my article about literally nothing. Enjoy.

10 Things Only Equestrians Understand

Yes, it IS a sport. Yes, I fall all the time. No, I do not ride in jeans with a cowgirl hat on.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
