Stuck in the Box

Today, my teacher showed us a video. A video about Education. Part of it was about imagination and "thinking outside of the box." I feel like I don't think enough. Like when I think, It's not so much because I want to, but more because I have to. I feel uncreative and plain and I hate it. I need to think outside of the box. I wonder how many uses I could think of for a paperclip? Or a box of cards? Or a peice of string? Probably three, unless I thought really hard about it. I feel like I'm not as creative as I used to be. What's happening? My goal for this week is to be creative and think about things differently.
