Writer's block gets the best of us, too. So if you're tapping your desk, unsure of what to write, here's what to write about!


Favorite dishes ever.

Share with everyone what your favorite traditional dishes are. To make it more unique, talk about some of the dishes you have ate out of the state or country and compare it to where you live now. Spice up your listicle with introducing why you decided to talk about your favorite dishes and ending with popular favorites compared to yours.

Hacks for school.

Embrace your feelings for school, not in a negative way, and tell your audience how you get through your school day every day, whether it is college high school or even younger. Tell people your age how you either get everything done efficiently, or even just a funny hack that makes people's days better when they read it.

Things/people who inspire me.

Everyone wants to know the key to motivation. Tell people your key or who it is and explain why. It could be a listicle and you could list the people/things or it could just be in essay format and go on about what inspires you, how and if it continues to inspire you.

Which type of person would be which font?

I have been wanting to do something like this for a while now because it is such a wholesome topic since anyone can relate to it. Try to make the article as broad as possible so any type of person can scroll down your list and "find" themselves or who they would be. For example, if you're talking about a person who is super boring but you need them in your lives, you could say "Times New Roman."

 Articles that everyone has done.

Time to break that fourth wall. We all get writer's block. It's completely normal, but that doesn't change the fact that some articles or stories are way too repetitive so try writing a listicle on all the articles you are sick of seeing. This can actually change people's perspective on the way they write or help new writers.

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
