Writer's Block (a post from ages ago that I never got around to posting)

I have a headache. My laptop screen is giving off an uncomfortable white glow and I can't help but put all my concentration on my eyes still fixated on the empty page. Thus the headache

Even if I have a general idea of what I want to say, I often wonder what I could possibly convey that either hasn't already been said or could be said infinitely better if I had the proper insight or vocabulary.

I felt like this a lot when I started doing college essays (I assume this is what youa re talking about).

Then I learned that it doesn't matter.

Sometimes all you need to do is present what you've got, it doesn't have to be the best thing ever written on the subject, just your own words.

It is an indication that you don't really want to write about the subject though, so maybe change the subject?
