what's a good autobiography title

39 spicy titles for my memoir or yours

Constructing the memoir of your life can be a truly grueling process. The most crucial element to consider, of course, is the enticing title. The stakes are incredibly high — with the wrong label, your entire life could be inaccurately represented. For widespread applicability, I have laid out options for some niche lifestyles.

For the foodie:

BuzzFeed, what kind of cheese am I?
What to expect when you’re expecting a food baby
DTF: Down to feast?
I’m eating fries in my parked car
I’m just here for the cake
I almost just ate something healthy
The art of consuming Domino’s pizza
And then they gave me an oatmeal raisin cookie…
Boba for the soul
Coffee and carbs: A delicacy like no other
How did I get food on my forehead, again?
I put too much Kraft parmesan on my spaghetti
Are you going to finish that?

For the risqué:

I asked for a water cup and filled it with Coke
“This is my face. I’m not mad”: The plight of RBF
Nobody cares
Is it better to roast or to toast?
Sugar, spice and everything nice or sarcasm, Pepsi and everything sexy?
Do I want bangs, or should we just talk about my feelings?
Sorry, Mom.
“I’m 29. I can finally play a high schooler on TV. Thank you, Jackson Stewart”: On starting my Disney career later in life
I did a thing, and I’m not sorry
Goal Digger
I turned off my autocorrect, and I only journal in pen: A baddie’s guide to writing
Trial and lots of error

For the hot mess:

I never really know what’s going on
I’m late, and I’m sweating
Still in bed
Call me again in 3-5 business days
Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over my internal monologue
“I think I just said the funniest thing ever”: The story of my delusional comedy career
I haven’t changed my sheets in like a year.
Floor-seat mentality with a nosebleed budget
I wasn’t gonna cry in Starbucks though, yk?
Do I look like an Android user?
Rock my Crocs off
“Sorry, my Uber is here”: A beginner’s guide to exiting swiftly from awkward situations
Crap, I really need to finish my memoir

Okay, maybe these titles don’t reflect your life story in their simplicity, but hopefully they made you smile a bit.
