What if...

I have always liked the idea of asking "what if" questions because they always bring about really interesting answers. So for this assignment I just started writing down a bunch of questions, just stream of consciousness. It definitely sparked more creativity than I thought it would and actually caused me to do a little daydreaming right in the middle of the day. In a way it acted as not only a creative activity but also a break from any other normal day. Here are some of the questions I asked myself:

- What if college was just a test before the real one?

       Then we would all be in school for a really long time, but also we would probably be really smart by the time we reached "real" college. We might also die a lot younger as a result of added stress, which could make for some population problems. 

-What if sleeping was actually reality instead of our awake time?

    Then the world would be a lot more interesting, because so much more can happen in dreams, essentially anything is possible. 

-What if homework was fun?

  Then there would be no procrastinators and we would all get pretty good grades. However than the problem arises of there being no slackers to balance the super studious students. But is that really a problem? 

-What if pictures really did take away a piece of our soul?

 Then everyone with a Facebook would be soulless, so I guess than we would pretty much all be zombies or serial killers...though I'm not sure which is worse.

-What if our siblings were actually our parents?

 Then who are our parents really? I guess it would make sense why my older sister was always bossing me around then.

Below is the image of my thoughts as I wrote them. They are arranged in different shapes, some just made up, in hopes to show that ideas don't always connect but they are still worth writing down as they can spark unexpected creativity.
