When You Don't Know What To Write

If I am going to be perfectly honest I'd have to say that I drafted this blog post during one of my lectures this afternoon. Yes, I know I should have been taking notes, but it at least looked like I was. I sit towards the back and text my sister back in America or doodle song lyrics in my notebook. Don't worry I can still give a general outline of the lecture. But today I chose to spend the two-hour slot drafting a post on What To Do When You Don't Know What To Write (really long title I know so I shortened it later). I've been searching for ideas to use for my projects due in a few months time and not being able to think of any. I don't know where to start. I guess I just keep thinking that something will hit me, but it never does, which is incredibly frustrating when you're in the mood to write something. So I thought what's stopping me from writing anyway? I pulled out my notebook in that lecture and started putting anything and everything onto the page.

5 Airport Don’ts

 :
(Not my image.)
Traveling can be an absolutely amazing experience or a terrible one, and a lot of that depends on the unspoken code of etiquette travelers do or don’t follow. Everyone is all too aware that some are seemingly oblivious to these courtesies. Not to be a downer here, but just thought I’d pose this as a challenge to many a traveler out there to avoid these traveling don’ts.

1. Don’t Cut Into Lines
This seems obvious but some people do it anyway. Everyone is aware of the fact that lines can get really long in airports, and no one wants to stand there any longer than they absolutely have to. Cutting into the middle of the line or even five people ahead isn’t going to save you much time in the long run and you’ll only succeed in angering the people behind you who, trust me, noticed.
