My rut is playing video games; I play them way too much. It makes my life less simple because it takes away from things that are important such as homework. The most difficult part about giving up my video games is the fact that I will not be able to play them for a whole week. It will help me understand that there is more to life than just sitting around at a television and playing my video games. This experiment will also help me improve my social life, by getting out and talking to people besides the people at school. I can do a whole lot with my time that I use to play my video games. What I hope to learn from this is that I can learn to make my life simple, and also achieve a lot with this simple but achievable life style.  What inspired me to take up this challenge or better known as my rut is this wonderful quote from Emerson “every natural action is graceful, every heroic act is descent” (Emerson) the reason why I choose this is because the quote is really good
