I shouldn't link to Kit's entry until it's been archived, to give the permanent and correct link, but... I can fix it later.
Actually, what's wrong with rose colored?
Take a blanket, go outside, and lay out on the grass/lawn/etc (if you so have the luxury. Not I, but I digress). Stare up at the sky a moment, taking in the glowing aura of the lights surrounding you, the block, the street... city. Look first with your eyes. It's a strange glow, both warm and cold...
Now close your eyes. Look at the stars you can't see. Give them form, let your imagination do what your real eyes cannot.
It sounds like the problem is that something is choking your creative aspect. Stifling, for lack of a better word, (and I'd bet cold cash most of it is in fact school).
I haven't met you IRL (yet, because one of these days I do plan to fix that), but I know for a fact you're a generous person, sometimes to a fault. And I don't mean in material objects. I say this because you're going to have to be a wee bit selfish and take some time for yourself. But you can't just do anything with this time. You have to try and work some slack into these "chains", if only for a little while. Enough to help get you through school, at least.
And for hell's sake, when you do get out of school, rest.
The imagination needs to recover from serious injuries, and I'd consider this serious.

It's not just rose-colored, though. It's black and grey and pink and. . . I think it looks like a bruise, actually. It makes me physically ill, to look up at the sky and never see it get really dark. I go outside sometimes and lie on my front lawn, but it drives me crazy if there's nobody there with me, because then I hear the city. Or, uh, the suburb.
I don't like living in the city, really. I think that's about it. Some people love it, but I don't.

If I tried to lay on the ground out here, I'd be covered in crawlie things in a minute.
I won't even mention that big black snake that has it's whole in the yard.
Although we /do/ have the blanket of stars thing going on...
