Creativity - the use of the imagination or original ideas, esp. in the production of an artistic work.
Before this week I believed that creativity referred to being good in the arts, such as painting or playing an instrument, but I was incredibly wrong. Creativity is more than just being artistic or having musical abilities. Being creative is stepping out of the box and taking risks. In college especially just having a degree in a specific major isn’t going to get you a job. So many people are graduating that same year with that same degree and are going to be going after the same job you are going after. So what makes you stand out? Creativity is what makes a person stand out from a crowd who all share the same characteristics. Being creative in this situation is taking risks and proving that you have more skills and potential that those who simply just have a degree. By volunteering is the first step to standing out. Once you have volunteered for a while, move up into a leader position. This is what jobs are looking for, they want leaders who have the necessary skills to do the job right. Creativity is a huge part of becoming successful. You need both motivation and creativity in order to reach success and get the job you want after college.
Two words I have learned this week are benign and malevolence. Benign refers to a mild type of character that does not threaten health or life; harmless. Malevolence refers to having, showing, or arising from intense, often vicious ill will, spite, or hatred. These are words I have looked up on a college vocabulary dictionary I found. I have not been learning new vocabulary words in my classes because of midterms; my professors are just reviewing the material we have learned the first couple weeks of the semester!
