Cooking: I know this problem, and I'm not exactly top-notch at it either (but hoping to work on it!). Like a lot of things, I think the best way to get better at cooking is continually doing it. Maybe assign one night a week that you will make something for dinner or dessert, and stick to it. This means you have less free time, sure, but you were going to have to deal with that. The internet can provide you with recipes, and if you hit up the right sites they may even have a "cooking for beginners" type thing.
Alternatively, try taking classes. Not sure if they'd exist in Columbia, but they will in Boston. Or, yknow, come visit us and Rose will teach you.
Being broke: this will be sorted when you get two bank accounts, and get paid straight into your savings one. W.r.t. impulse purchasing: no one can stop you doing that except yourself.
Getting fit: do some walking. Download some audiobooks - yes, yes, I know you don't absorb information by listening, shut up and let me finish - throw them on your iPod, pick a direction, and go. Then you can say you follow the same routine as Stephen Fry does! Also, you might start listening to the book.
Mess: I've already adviced this one.
Creativity: that's (most probably) because you're busy doing stuff and not trying to be creative. Set aside some time and you should start getting your creativity up and going again.

Camera: DSC-T1 is ten bucks on ebay.
iPod: They still sell the classic, stop whinging.
Now I've organised your life, back to science!
