Do you not know how to spell or is that some sort of new hip thing?
Anyway, regarding your question, you should take pictures of people at your school while they are doing after school activities.
Go to an animal shelter and take photojournalistic picttures of the dogs, and the keepers.
Do a documentry on the crosses along the road. Who dies, how did they die, how to avoid such crashes in the future. Photograph and interview EMTs, cops, and the victim's family.
Do some close up, B&W, tonal and hi-res pictures of factory equipment.
When you dream tonight...take notes. You will get lots of ideas.

How about someone studying by a tree while others are playing with a frisbee? Or, someone at at dorm desk studying at night, only the lamp is on, a clock by the desk shows 3:30am; use a with a long shutter setting and no strobe lighting and no overhead light. Or someone deep in thought with books around him/her at the librarry.
It would help us if we knew what your studying... composition, design, story-telling, depth of field... WHAT?
Good luck and best wishes.

One of the best pictures I ever took was of my son's jitterbug...but it was in the top 1/3 of the frame and there was a lot of negative space around it.
People. Hands. Fields. Grass (long, tall, grass) and other plants. River at night with lights shining on the river.

Take an ordinary object and photograph it as it were a person going through their daily routine. Make a collage out of it.

when you get stuck, take your mind off photography for a moment. you may be just experiencing burnout for trying too hard. relax, go out and explore your surroundings, have a drink or two, go to a movie, etc. and soon enough ideas will start to flow.

try experimenting in the darkroom:
take old negatives that you probably won't use any more and scratch, burn, double expose, twist, slice, melt, or fold them. then make the prints...
(fair warning: it's extremely addicting and extremely fun.)

Shoot very ordinary things in very unusual ways, take them out of context.
