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.
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.
