Finals week is approaching way to quickly for me. My goal was to spend all of Thanksgiving Break cracking down and getting everything done to be ready for the end of the semester. Well, surprise, guess how much I got done? Literally nothing. Instead, I found ten random to help procrastinate time even more. You can thank me later.


1. PointerPointer.com

This website had me entertained for a good thirty minutes. I have no clue how it works. Basically you point your curser anywhere on the screen, then it searches some magical picture database and find a picture of someone pointing RIGHT at your curser. No matter where it is on the screen. I'm still trying to find a place where I can stump it, still haven't succeeded yet.

2. FreeRice.com

This one is great because not only is it entertaining, but you're helping people too. It's a quiz game where for every answer you get right, they donate 10 grains of rice to hungry families. Doesn't sound like much, but when you play it for a while, that stuff adds up. This still counts as studying, right?

3. CamelCamelCamel.com

Personally, I'm guilty of the age old amazon online shopping to kill time. This website lets you look up about every item on Amazon and it will show you the price history and projection forecast. So you know just the right time to buy that Cheetah Girls Deluxe movie pack.

4. CaffineeInformer.com

After you tell yourself it's time to get serious with life and grab that cup of coffee for your all nighter. Why not see how much coffee would be enough to kill you? This website lets you look up your favorite caffeinated drinks to learn how much would be lethal.

5. JibJab.com

We've all seen those cute little dancing elves with our friend's faces stuck in them. But Jib Jab has more than just Christmas E-Cards. Why not send a Thank You E-Card to your roommate for putting up with you? Or an I'm Sorry E-Card to yourself for putting yourself in this position for yet another semester.

6. DontEvenReply.com

Just need a good laugh? Remind yourself that you're not as bad as the other guy? This one is for you. Some crazy guy (or girl) responds to those weird ads on Craigslist. They mess with these people more than finals week is messing with us.

7. Koalastothemax.com

Just need a reminder how weird the internet can be? This website starts off with four big dots. As you roll over the dots, they break apart in to smaller ones. Then there's a nice surprise at the end.

8.BringInTheCats.com

This one is for when you need a mindless break to do absolutely nothing. It takes a minute to load, so go grab a snack, then sit back and be mesmerized by cats. A lot of them.

9. MrDoob.com

Ever want to build a little town with blocks like you're back in elementary school again? Play the kid game and reminisce on the good days where finals weren't a thing.

10. CryingInNewYork.tumblr.com

Now that you've successfully shortened the time you have to complete all those papers and study for that final, you just need a good cry. This girl has documented all the best places to cry in New York city along with depressing pictures. So close your eyes and have a good cry sesh on the elevator in the subway system with her.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
