Never have I received an assignment so vague – a research paper on… anything.<\/p>\n

I have a lot of passions, a lot of interests. Yet, when someone, namely my Professor from my writing class, tells me to dive into these full force, my brain stops turning. \u00a0Almost instantly, I am blank<\/a>. \u00a0As of now, my ideas consist of my passion for gender and sexuality, as well as the environment. However, narrowing a topic down to something other than those two large<\/strong>\u00a0categories seems like something that will either:<\/p>\n

  1. Take days or weeks to craft OR<\/li>\n
  2. Happen overnight in a dream, during a night out on the town, or spontaneously as I am giving a presentation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    However, a blank canvas is the perfect medium to work with. \u00a0Although I am not an artist, I would never want to draw on top of something another person has already started. \u00a0All for team work – but the details (the small<\/em> stuff) are something I need to create myself.<\/p>\n

    I have less than 10 weeks to craft a complete research paper from a blank canvas, a challenge I have done in less time throughout high school (my record is close to two days.) However, I am well aware that will not be the case this time, especially considering the prompt – nothing<\/em>.<\/p>\n
