Highlighters

As I looked around one of my classes last week, I noticed how intense people can get in their notes with highlighters. Each arrow, dash, or bold word gets outlined or swiped with hot pink or yellow-even rainbow. Each is it's own work of art and says something about their personality. Certain people keep their lines exact and have keys in their mind of what each bright color means where as others practically turn the entire page hot pink. I think it shows a lot about how controlled a person is. I know that I consider myself a perfectionist and like to keep all of the lines perfect and to one or two colors but my friend who sits next to me in class uses the full spectrum of colors outlining different words, even drawing pictures. While it does show something about their personality, I don't believe it measures a level of creativity. To most it would appear that she is more creative because of how bright and detailed her notes are but I think that having a certain way of doing something is all it take's to be creative. By deciding to like using hot pink more than yellow, you are making a creative decision and therefore being creative.
