There are a couple that you probably use daily when writing:

e.g: "exempli gratia" that translates FOR EXAMPLE
i.e: "id est" that translates THAT IS

And I am sure you heard or seen some of these before:
"Ad Libitum" that means at your own pleasure or just simply IMPROVISE "Persona non grata" : UNWELCOME INDIVIDUAL
"Veni, Vidi, Vinci" : I CAME, I SAW, I CONQUERED
"Opus" : WORK
"Et cetera" (etc.): AN OTHER THINGS
