Dear Writers Block, I Hate You

There is an evil little creature using my backspace key as a trampoline! HELP

So I've been writing for the Odyssey for about a year now and it gets really hard to put together good articles for my deadlines. I love it though, it's like a release for me where I can get everything out that I want to. I can just vent and let my fingers do the rest.

But as all writers know, there are two words that can stop even the best of us in our tracks

WRITERS BLOCK

This is an increasing problem for me every time I start a new article. I'm always so excited and it always ends with me getting about a paragraph in and stopping. It's so frustrating because I can feel the words on the tip of my tongue but I can't get my brain to send the words to my fingers so they can type them. I love to write no matter if its a story, a poem, an article so when the infamous writers block sets in it sucks. I mean why can't I just get my brain to formulate the words that I want to say you know? In fact I'm suffering from this awful creature this week and thats why I'm writing about this little rascal. I mean if I can't write about anything else why not write about whats keeping me from doing something I love.

So you evil little creature I hate you so much all I want to do is write and it's like you are just sitting on my backspace key ready to erase every word, every sentence I write. I mean do you just get pleasure in torturing me? Do you enjoy using my backspace key as a trampoline. I'm sorry to sound so rude but why do you even exist? Just go away and don't come back! I just want to write but you for some reason find it hilarious to keep me from doing that. I could be creating beautiful articles or even funny ones, articles that not only help me but could even help others.

So if you ever have the unfortunate chance to meet this poisonous little shit I am so very sorry. And if you've already met him and somehow got rid of him please enlighten me as to how you did because I just can't seem to get him to go away. I think he's taken a liking to me which I don't see how considering I can be mean in a sarcastic way but no matter what I do he just sits there taunting me. I mean hell at this rate he's going to break my backspace key he's jumped on it so much and as a college student I don't have the money or time to take it to get it fixed. So to all my fellow writers please help me send him to the farthest place from me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
