10 Sites To Waste Your Time With
Rami Al-zayat

I'm sure the last thing we all need is more ways to procrastinate midterms, papers, and presentations, but sometimes we just need a little break. Here are 10 sites that will help revive you from mind-numbing school work and help you take a minute to de-stress!

1. Google Street View.

A great way to waste time is by exploring all the places you're too broke to go to! If just wandering around isn't you're style, try playing Geoguessr, a great game using Google Street View that drops you somewhere in the world and your objective is to figure out where you are! It's a lot of fun to see how close to your exact location you can get.


2. StumbleUpon.

When you first make an account (you can connect it to your Facebook!), it will ask you what categories you like to see, and from then on, it's easy! The site will generate new things based on your interests with the click of a button. Everything from music to articles to videos and games!

3. The Onion.

This site is the place to go if you need some dry humor in your day. This blatantly sarcastic site takes from current events and creates hilariously satirical articles for your enjoyment. A great way to take a break from your work and have a chuckle!

4. Ocearch Shark Tracker.

This site lets you track the movement of tagged sharks from around the world. All the sharks have names and you can see everywhere they've gone in the past year! A great way to waste some time and see what your shark friends are up to.

5. Rainy Mood.

One of my favorite websites! Rainy Mood is a great way to calm down after a stressful day or particular assignment that has you pulling out your hair. Layer it over your music or listen to it on its own to take a few minutes to relax.

6. Bored Button.

This website is fantastic for when you're truly bored out of your mind. Click the bored button to be redirected to tons of sites that will keep you entertained for all of five minutes. Then click the Bored Button again and find something new!

7. Hacker Typer.

This website will take any random typing and keyboard tapping and make it look like you're typing code and doing some casual hacking on your computer. Very silly, very entertaining!

8. Don't Even Reply.

Having a bad day? Make yourself feel better by reading e-mails between internet trolls and their (mostly) innocent victims! Great for a pick-me-up during your lunch break. Misery loves company, right?

9. Weave Silk.

Not only is this fun, it's terribly satisfying! Weave Silk lets you play with lights and make beautiful symmetrical patterns and lovely works of art. Play with color blending, symmetry, and light with this addicting and mesmerizing website.

10. This Is Sand.

This game lets you play with colored sand to make gorgeous murals on your screen! Make any color you can think of and layer them on top of each other to entertain yourself with, yes, sand.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
