What is creativity? ๐จ โ๏ธ ๐ถ Creative minds may use their imagination to create art, stories, and music. Is that it?
Creative thinking is actually much more versatile, useful from problem-solving, to data analysis and interpretation.

10 Reasons to study Humanities. #1: Be a critical thinker! Don't accept anything at face value. Learn, instead, to delve deep into the ways in which we represent people, create stories, and interpret facts. Interested? Find out more: buff.ly/7vCmBJL

This is about the time when willpower to fulfil NY resolutions begins to dwindle... Here is our advice:
Be kind to yourselves;
Be realistic with your goals (it's ok to cut down on that wordcount!);
Do something nice every day (this is the most important piece of advice!).
Why study Humanities? Delving deep into the complexities of the human makes you more likely to understand the needs of others and be empathetic to their concerns. Think of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: in the end, do you empathise with the charismatic scientist, or the revenge-seeking Creature?
