The Stages Of Writer's Block, As Told By Chandler Bing
YouTube

We've all had those moments where we sit down to write and then our minds go absolutely blank. You can't even think about what you're going to eat for dinner let alone how to even begin your article for work, or essay for school, or whatever situation you have found yourself in. This list comes straight from a victim of the occasional writer's block and who better assist me than the one and only Chandler Bing!?

Stage 1: The week prior to due date


It is during this time that any truly organized person would be drafting out their many ideas they get from a dream, or from any random outing with the family, or start writing out those quirky dad jokes that would be perfect for writing about taking your dog for a walk. But hey, we are a very diverse group of people and really, there's just so much that happens in the day and though some may call it laziness or slacking we call it...Living in the moment...

Stage 2: The day before due date

Alright so you allowed yourself the week to "live in the moment" but it's only been a couple days so I'm sure you can totally recollect those great ideas you had...Or you can at least ponder it for a day... So after sitting at your laptop for ten minutes you just close it and choose that it's best that you just sleep on it...

Stage 3: 15 hours until due date...


Uhhhhh...ummmm.... What am I thinking about...

Stage 4: Begin questioning your life choices..

And by life choices I mean you start at "Why am I even doing this?" "Is this really what I want to be doing at this stage of my life?" "What stage of life even is this?" "Is there a stage?" "Is life a stage?" "Am I the stage?!.".. Too far? Maybe not far off but you get the point.

Stage 5: 6 hours until due time

Ok time to open up Pinterest and try to get some original ideas and creativity...As I watch Friends because if Chandler Bing can get Monica to marry him I sure as heck can get this thing done!

Stage 6: 2 hours until due time...

Oh my gosh what have I done... I should have wrote down those ideas I had through out the week... I really should turn off Netflix right now... Man how did I even get hired for this job!?

Stage 7: What would Chandler Bing do...

What would Chandler Bing do? What would Chandler biiii.... OH MY GOSH! I HAVE MY ARTICLE!

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

Now you've got 25 problems and graduation is only one.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
