Poetry On Odyssey: I Have No Idea What To Write About

The title is pretty self-explanatory, I truly have no ideas this week. Writing is tough and churning out ideas is just another thought on my mind throughout the week. Come to think, I have never dived into poetry. Mainly because my high school teacher told me in her own words, dude you ain't good. But, through the years I thought I would try again and journey into new territory with some free form. Literally, just random thoughts I have and hopefully, you will find something out about me if you care at all.

I Have No Idea What To Write About

I have no idea what to write about

Why do I have no ideas?

The small hamster wheel in my head has stopped spinning.

Keep checking my Snapchat

I wonder if that girl will snap me back?

Been on read for 5 hours, so looks like a no.

I keep twirling my fingers through the curls in my hair

I really need to get that fresh cut

My laziness prevents that, so looks like a no to that too.

I'm so broke it's sad

Down to that last 25 dollars

Yet I still agreed to go out for a drink tonight.

Even now I'm still thinking

No ideas are popping up

So, I'll just litter this page with more.

Really wish she would snap me back

I should probably ask her for her actual number

That's just weird these days, so again no.

I promised some people I would write about them

I totally flaked on that one

Sorry those people i promised it will happen someday.

It's so cold in this room

My feet are practically frozen

But, I really need to finish this poem or whatever this is.

I also forget how long poems are supposed to be

I'd look in that handbook

But, I can't remember where that is either.

Ok, back to that girl for the last time

We've talked and I feel as though we click

Maybe it's just me, so i'll double text just to make sure.

Is anyone honestly going to read this?

Someone will feel bad and give me a view or two

To that person who will, thank you.

The idea wheel is starting to go now

I'm already to far deep into this poem

Might as well try and finish up.

Poetry is supposed to be freeing and calming

Yet, I don't feel either right now

Maybe if she would snap me back I would.

Alright one last and final time

Leaving me on read for 5 hours?

Ok, I'm done now.

I have no idea what to write about

I hope you all figured that out

Possibly next week I will brainstorm harder.

After that drink tonight the ideas will come through

But, I would've already turned this is in

I'll let you know how that drink goes.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
