I had done all the things that I advise my blogging students never to do. I didn’t build a proper content calendar for the month of October; I didn’t write down the one good idea I had sometime on Sunday; and I waited until the absolute last minute to write this Thursday post. It happens. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t spend plenty of time coming up with 7 terrible blog post ideas that seemed like excellent ideas for 10-15 seconds.

#3: I have tried to quit Instagram three times this month but I can’t. What does this mean?

 

#4: If people continue to care THIS MUCH about Lamar Odom then what I am doing with my life?

 

#5: The text message ruined modern love. I’m not sure how, but I’m pretty sure it did.

#7: I think I’ll watch every single Star Wars movie before the new one comes out because R will really appreciate it, but first I have to tell him that I’ve only seen one Star Wars movie…
