10 (Fun) Way to Procrastinate Finals Week

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
