Writer's Block As Told By Spongebob

We've all been there. You sit down to write a paper (or maybe an article) and it hits you. Writer's block. It's like a ball and chain for your thought process. Suddenly, you can't think of anything. No title. No plot-line. No groundbreaking revelations. Your head is full of absolutely nothing.

At first, you give it a shot. Writer's block can be easily be overcome, right? You just try and tap into your imagination.


You've been sitting at your desk "thinking" (texting) for a good 10 minutes, so you go to put pen to paper.


And then you realize you've written either absolute garbage or literally nothing. So you have to think harder.


You start to think about class and whether or not you actually have been paying attention.


And you look through your notes to discover that, no, you in fact have not been paying attention. So it comes as no surprise when you realize that lecture won't be inspiring you on this one.


It's time to look for inspiration elsewhere. But where to begin?


You decide to consult our lord and savior: Beyoncé. She's brilliant. She can help you write your paper. After all, she writes melodious music that speaks to the masses - so obviously her lyrics will spark your own genius.


But clearly you're not Beyoncé, because after listening to 'Formation' approximately 27 times - you give up and turn to homework's ultimate nemesis: Netflix.


When you look at the clock, you feel like you've been slapped hard by the cruel realization that it's been 6 1/2 hours. You watched 13 episodes of 'Property Brothers' and you feel so much shame.

So you finally buckle down and write words. Just any of the words that come to mind - directly onto the page. You get into the flow of things and think that maybe this isn't so bad.

Then you start over completely and finally something clicks. So you finally give it your all (and probably also several cups of coffee).


You go through and thesaurus a few things to make it sound like you didn't do it all the night before.

And finally, there it is. Your precious paper is finally completed. It's beautiful.

You promise yourself that you'll never procrastinate so hard ever again because you never know when writer's block will hit you and ruin everything. But, obviously, the same exact thing is going to happen again next time. So, get ready.

Happy writing!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
