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.

that's some great advice... it's really about getting your spices and flavors to blend well and to your liking. Once you know what goes well together you can make lots of things.
I had posted a list of different ingredients that made up a type of cuisine. I'll have to see if I can find it again
