The importance of creativity.

Why It's So Important To Create
creativewg.com

From the very earliest points in our lives, we have all created something. Whether it having been a painting you did with your fingers or a story you wrote, no matter the media or conception of the idea, you have taken your ideas and formed a physical representation of those thoughts that have been circling in your head, waiting to be unleashed. For me, that creative outlet is writing. I've always thought of myself as a creative person, for most of the time during my childhood, I would be occupied in my own head creating stories. However, as I grew older, I decided that the best way for the characters and worlds that accompanied them to be reserved was through transferring them into words. By doing this, I was able to keep track of my ideas and it allowed me to express my creativity in a new way, while also opening doors for other things, like art and other various forms of writing.

Now, creativity does not just focus on the concept of writing or art. The idea of creating something can be applied to a multitude of areas, such as knitting, woodworking, photography, etc. All these, and so many more, are ways that a person can create something using their imagination.

If we were to apply the same concept, we can also say that science and mathematics also create, in terms of producing new ideas and methods into both of their respectable fields of study. Along with this, we can say that a conversation is the product of creation between two people, the speaker and the receiver. Continuing on the communication route, we can see that the concept of communication allows groups of people to create relationships between one another, which then in turn will create better understanding of others.

So, why is all this information about creativity I just threw at you important? Well, the answer, in my sole opinion, is that creativity is a method in which one can express themselves in order to show the world that this is what they love to do and is something that they enjoy doing, such as writing. As well as this, the concept of creativity also is an endless line of creation. When someone makes something that they poured their heart and soul into and proceeds to share it with the world, there will be someone out there that sees that hard work and will be inspired to create something too. Just like this website, no- community, that allows writers from all over to come together and share their ideas while also helping their fellow writers in the process.

What I'm trying to say is, well, that creativity is something that should be expressed and be allowed to grow with that person. Without creativity, the books and movies and everything in between would possibly not exist. And a world without the power to create and express themselves is a world that is black and gray, with no emotion and imagination to be found.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
