Blog Basics: What to Write About

Another question students ask me forever and ever is:

"Sir Dustin, what do I write about?"

There are so many things you can write about. Honestly, in my own blog, I write about random stuff. I write about the MRT. I write about love. Sometimes, when I'm feeling a little emo, I write #HUGOT about my "special lady friend" (she's totes adorbs).

Think of a blog post like a Facebook post, except better, because you have more space for #HUGOT.

However, if you're really having trouble thinking of topics to write, use this Blog Topic Generator: http://blogtap.net/blogtopicgenerator/

What does it do? Well, it gives you a random topic to write about.

Click on the drop-down list to select a theme, and then, click on the "Generate another topic button." It is recommended that you inform me that you used the generator though, because sometimes you will generate topics like, "Shoveling your self out on a snowy day," and I might be tempted to report you to the Discipline Office thinking, "Snow? Is this kid on drugs?"

There are many blog topic generators found online. Feel free to explore. That's what this is about, really. I'm supposed to help you find a voice, a medium, a manner of expression that can help you convey who you are as a human being.

If you're too lazy to look for a fun topic generator, just download this list instead: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_YIu9gEFaOZcVdWbHVOa0psc0E/edit

By the way, try your best not to write about the same topic twice. Push your boundaries, expand your horizons, fly like an eagle!
