I feel like everyone else is so much more creative than I am. I feel like I should make more things, that I don't spend my time well enough. Everyone else seems to do so many things that I haven't even heard of, much less done. They have all sorts of cool activities and creations whereas I don't even know what I spend my time doing. Reading, going online and doing homework, I guess. I feel like I should create something new and really cool. Something new that other people don't usually do. I feel like the things I do are routine and not productive or creative enough. While I write some, I feel like I should write a lot more and a lot more interesting things. I feel like I should do some form of visual art besides beading and occasionally drawing something. I feel like I should come up with something else as well, something interesting that doesn't necessarily fit into a category of activity but has something to do with creating things.

If it makes you feel better, "college life" for me this year consisted of getting up, going to class, coming directly back to the dorm, doing homework, eating bad dorm food, surfing the Web, and sleeping. In that order. Every day. For eight months. I know the names of maybe 3 people on my floor. I was so depressed last semester, you have no idea.

You've been doing more than just that, judging by your posts. You've mentioned bowling and things.

This last month, I've actually begun to find stuff to do. Odd, how that worked out. But up until, say, mid-March, my statement stands.

See, this is odd because I've wished I could be as creative as you are. I mean, you write poetry, and you always seem to have creative stuff going on.

I guess maybe it's easier to see in others than ourselves sometimes?

yeah, that's probably it. And I always thought that everyone else (well, minus those who are obviously un-creative and just have no interest in the arts) did so much more than I did.

ive wanted to be creative like you too.

That might be part of it, that you hang out with an especially artsy crowd.

I get this feeling a lot. I think it has to do with finding a medium that satisfies your wants. Maybe it would help if you identified them. For me, I want something that can convey a story (so sculpture and paintings are basically out), that has a visual component (so not just pure writing), etc. I'm still going back and forth between stuff but it's helped me focus my interests.
