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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
