Get out of your creative rut!

Art inspires artists to create more. Lately, I have been discovering this. My roommate and I were chatting about moments that inspired us to create, and we came up with a bunch of different moments: watching dance showcases, going to see musicals and plays at PlayHouse, listening to music, and going to art museums. All of these activities helped to spark our own interest and creativity.

This truly amazes me. One goal I have for myself is to take time to have creative outlets and create for fun. I am a writer, my major being journalism, so I write for classes, my University’s newspaper, and for The Odyssey. Because I am writing constantly, it is so easy to get bored, feel burnt out, and be unoriginal. For example, I have been writing for The Odyssey for about a year and a half now, which means I have written articles on a whole variety of topics, but I’ve focused on hobbies and topics I am passionate about. After a while, I felt that I have written all that I want to share on those topics, which makes it very difficult to think of new topics to discuss.

Luckily, art inspires.

Talking about these art forms with my roommate sparked my excitement. We then decided to have a paint night, a trademark of our roommate experience. I spent an hour disconnected from my phone, school work, and the stress of the beginning of the semester, and instead focused solely on painting mountains with a sun setting behind them. I came away from that hour completely relaxed and with a clear mind.

After completing the painting, I also realized how inspirational different art forms, which gave me the idea for this article.

If you are passionate about one form of art, try new forms of art. Watch a movie, listen to music, scroll through Instagram and look at drawings, or try an art form yourself. There are a million different ways to experience art, but I promise that exploring art will definitely inspire you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
