I am by no means a great cook but this is my advice....

1. Cookbooks are great. I'd recommend you find some good ones and get those. Cookbooks are really a very personal thing so I won't recommend any; just get some you feel comfortable with.

2. Recipes are easy. Don't be intimidated by them. They're just directions. If you make a meal and it's bad and you followed the recipe exactly, don't feel bad; the recipe is bad. Find new ones.

3. After you cook enough, you'll start getting a feel for what ingredients you like and what you can do with them. Browse the aisles at a supermarket someday with no real intent on buying anything. Just browse and stay away from the pre-made stuff. You'll feel your creativity kick into gear and you won't even realize it.

Congratulations on your degree.
