This week for inspiration I decided to do something different than my past posts. Yesterday around 5:30 I went to sit on the Quad and watch the sunset with my friend while listening to music. We sat on those stone benches above the admissions building. Originally I wanted to people watch and see if that gave me any inspiration, but there weren’t many people outside because of the rain. We sat there for about thirty minutes, but couldn’t see the sunset that well because of the clouds.
I was not very inspired by this because I found myself getting distracted by my friend and talking more about our plans for the week instead of thinking outside the box. It was difficult to stay on track and not just talk about things that we talk about all the time. I would not say that this was a good way for myself to inspire new ideas, but I did enjoy spending the time with my friend and it was helpful to learn what was not conducive to inspiration. Next time I will stick to thinking by myself, but I will continue to try and find new methods of inspiration.
