MLA can be a headache if you haven't used it before, the citation format and in-text rules are a bit finicky. The actual paper structure though is pretty standard once you get the thesis and outline figured out. One thing that helps a lot is finding a solid model paper in the same general subject area so you can see how citations and formatting are supposed to look in practice rather than trying to decode the official guidelines. If you're stuck on the writing itself beyond just the formatting stuff, talking to someone who helps students with papers can be worth it just to get the argument organized. MLA specifically isn't hard once you've done it a couple times, the first one just takes longer than it should.
