Spring has Sprung! It is my favorite time of the year; waking up to the sun, birds, and often the smell of fresh rain. Everything seems so positive this time of the year. However, the Spring also marks the countdown to summer. With every passing day I find myself becoming more and more excited to graduate, and have discovered that I am complaining more than ever about having “senioritious”. Complaining about the problem, of course, gets me now where fast. While watching the news one day I heard about a campaign that directed at this problem of complaining. Apparently people are taking self vows to stop complaining for 21 days; a task that is often difficult for most to accomplish. NBC did a story about this challenge and reached surprising conclusions.
Many individuals spent months attempting to go 21 days without complaining! It seems like something that would be easy to accomplish. However, after I sat down and thought about it I decided that I would be a tough challenge and one that you must be driven to achieve. Do you have what it takes? What do you think?
I think that often times without thinking about it people complain. Things that may not really matter are talked about. Why does so much time and energy get focused in that direction. Shouldn’t we all be focusing more on being positive about ourselves, lives and world in general? Afterall life is more fun if you look on the sunny side 
I have thought about how much I complain and I don’t think I could ever stop about complainig, even though my reason for complaints usually are self inflicted. I hate the traffic around CSU but if I were just to leave my house a little early it really would not bother me. Or the the fact that I have 3 exams this week but had I been studying all along I would be fine. So more power to the people that can stop complaining but unfortunately I am not that kind of person.
I definitely do not think I would be about to not complain for 21 days. I totally can relate to you- I’m a senior too and I find myself complaining a lot lately about how much I have to do and how I really do not want to do it. This post has gotten me thinking about my own complaining. I’m going to try to see how long I can go without doing it. Hopefully I’ll be able to at least last this next hour in class! Thanks for the post, it was really good!
