Greetings!
I think the easiest way to begin an assignment like this is with a list--in this case, a list of idioms. If you can't come up with enough yourself, just do an internet search with the terms "list idioms" and you'll get some helpful sites. I found these, for example:
as easy as pie beat around the bush catch some Zs can't make heads or tails of an eager beaver if I had my druthers ditch class pull an all-nighter keep one's nose to the grindstone sleep on it
Then, look at what you've got and see what kind of story you can construct from it. For instance:
I thought it would be easy as pie to write an essay using idioms. I certainly did not want to beat around the bush because I needed to catch some Zs, but I soon realized that I could not make heads or tails of the assignment. Normally, I am quite the eager beaver when it comes to studying, but in this instance, if I had my druthers, I would ditch class rather than have to keep my nose to the grindstone and pull an all-nighter. On second thought, maybe I should sleep on it.
That was fun! See what you can come up with!
