We found a duck in the library.

First day in Creative Minds class, we played a little game called, "Scavenger Hunt". It was around 19:50, when we were told by our professor, Apryl Berney, that we had to go out and take pictures of listed items with two other group members. At first, I wasn't too pleased. It was too cold and late to want to go outside to play Scavenger Hunt; plus, the game itself was a little too childish. However, our feelings changed once we found a better and easier way to find all the items. Once the handouts were given and clock had started, we headed straight to the library.

From the Library, we didn't have any trouble finding the listed items. We started off with a duck, which we found a picture online. Hilariously, we thought we were original and clever, but found everyone else in the library doing the same. From that point on, we looked for everything we could get online, so we could lessen the distance of walking. I think that our strategy worked, since that's what everyone else did too.  By the time we walked out the library, we had found 4 items on the list.

Before making a next move, we decided to go down the list and skip the ones that we didn't have any chance of finding. For example, it was too dark to take a picture with Euphrat Museum of Art, so we decided to ignore it. Because we were using our cellphone cameras, lighting was a bit problem. It was dark at the moment and plus, it was cold (reminder). However, it wasn't a big deal like the other ones we encountered.

"No Coke in the bookstore." Through our scavenger hunt, we found out that De Anza bookstore doesn't sell Coke. Yes, we could have used our cellphones and take a picture with a picture of coke on our cellphones. However at that moment, we were confident that a coke would be at a store. A little did we know, we walked out the store like we forgot our wallets.


Most of the time, our group was outgoing during the walk. We asked people if they seemed to have or look like they would have something on the list. Also, we didn't waste any time standing around, trying to find our next move. Instead, we walked first, then we continued to discuss. 

Through our scavenger hunt, I realized that we use our creativity to find the listed items faster and easier way. You could call it a cheating, but as long as you follow the rules, it's not. Also, through this exercise, I got to work and hang out with two individuals in our group. We interacted and got to know each other and got to learn how different their thoughts were, compared to mine. As far as a society, scavenger hunt helped me realize how everyone has their own thoughts whether they are the same or different. Just because they are different doesn't mean they are wrong. Thus, gathering everyone's thoughts and opinions would be more efficient than choosing just one's thought.
