Car wont start help

I drove home last night everything was normal, go to drive to school and nothing... Literally nothing. I put my key in the on position, when the electronics all kick on, nothing. Obviously the car won't start. Anyone ever had anything like this?
Car has 85k miles on it. Any info helps thanks in advance

Battery, battery leads, ignition.

I have not had that problem but those are three areas to start with.

I hope it is as simple as your battery lead worked its way loose. Check at the battery positive. If that lead is good check at the starter, then at the ground points on the vehicle and battery for the negatative lead.
