Writer's Block.

Ok. So this is one of the most frustrating things. I have no idea what I want to write about today. Studying for my final exams has exploded my remaining brain cells. The only thing that I can strongly think about is going home for break and sleeping. Sleeping. Getting A LOT of sleep.

What gives us writer's block? I feel like writing something can't be too forced. Sure, there are plenty of exercises to brainstorm ideas. Every time I've done this though, I don't really write anything of substance and just end up writing down funny things I've heard someone say that day.

Maybe I should start writing about the funny things I see while on campus. At least one odd thing happens to me everyday. Like last night in line for dinner at the dining hall, the gentleman behind me though it was ok to not only burst my personal space bubble, but stand an inch away from me at all times. Now considering im about 5'1" and this man was about 6' gave me the feeling of a monster trying to grab me....
I think he just really wanted some General Tso's chicken.

Ok. so maybe writer's block is more creative than I first gave it credit for. I mean I just wrote some 100 w0rds just talking about writers block. At least that is writing. I'll probably look back at this and think why would anyone ever read this?

Hopefully they have a sense of humor and know where I'm coming from.
Hopefully they'll save me from my finals that I should be studying for.

In case you do have some serious writer's block here are some tips

What am I doing about it? Well right now I'm flipping through my itunes listening to some of my favorite artists. I'm going to stop because I find writer's block very frustrating and find it better to separate myself from it for a little while!
