Is mixing creatine with protein powder a norm? It tastes horrible. I bought my first tub of creatine and was wondering if any experienced users have any inputs for creatine overall. So far I've been told to drink more water while using it and it will help create more muscle.  Is that true?

Definitely true, creatine helps retain water which increases strength/endurance in the gym. Out of all the supplements I’ve tried creatine has the largest impact for sure if you’re trying to gain mass. Most suggest you load extra the first week or two, I’m sure the container recommends you do a bit extra your first week. I would just try to stay as hydrated as possible. Tricky thing with creatine is it definitely would bloat me a bit so I typically try to do it in the winter when I’m trying to bulk. I’ve never tried it when trying to cut but could be a good way to maintain a bit more mass as you cut. Usually takes about a week to really kick in and start making a noticeable impact
