16 Things To Do When Bored In Class

We all have that one class we try so hard to be present for. I’m not talking about physically present, I’m talking about mentally present. You attend the first two weeks and think you can do it. You will listen and take notes like the good college student you are. But as a month begins to roll around, you suddenly feel your eyes grow heavy, your mind starts to wonder, and you’re left with the painful job of sitting in a class that is royally evil. Open those eyes and your handy-dandy laptop; I’ve got some pretty awesome things to do online that will keep you looking at least a little more alive and well. Here’s a list of 16 things to do on your computer when class isn’t the most exciting thing in the world:

1. Facebook:

The obvious choice. Just don’t find yourself on the profile of the person sitting next to you.

2. Twitter:

Another obvious choice, but there’s nothing better than indulging in all of your friend’s super important thoughts.

3. Instagram:

Original, but those “instafamous” celebrities can’t get those likes by themselves!

4. YouTube:

If the professor allows you to use headphones, then by all means watch all of those crazy cat videos!

5. iMessage:

Apple users know what I’m talking about. Texting while not actually using a phone, what more could you want?

6. Pinterest:

Here you can find creative ideas on basically anything your heart desires. As you are passing class time, you also are becoming more artistic by the minute. What fun!

7. Big Fish Games:

Why not enjoy some quality gaming time while listening to a totally awesome, okay really boring, lecture?

8. Sporcle:

Here you can find quizzes and trivia to use the knowledge that is slowly dissipating in this super exciting class.

9. Disney Channel Games:

For all of my fellow classmates that miss what used to be Disney Channel, find all of your favorite old games here. You may have to dig a little to find them, but I promise you they’re still there and ready to be played.

10. Netflix:

This is for my bold individuals. If you're feeling even more daring, maybe bring some popcorn and candy.

11. Online Shop:

Spend all of your money. Spend it all. Check out eBay, Amazon or Overstock, just to name a few!

12. Ellentube:

Watch Ellen Degeneres’ favorite videos and funniest moments. Just try not to laugh in class, that would be a dead give away that you're doing the opposite of what you’re supposed to be doing.

13. Bored Button:

Bored in class? Press the red button and all of your troubles will fade into oblivion.

14. Akinator:

Want something that will blow your mind? Check out this magic genie that will guess a certain person you’re thinking of. Warning: This game hurts your brain. He's just too good.

15. StumbleUpon:

Stumble your way into fun entertainment while also freeing yourself from boredom. This site has exciting pictures, fun activities, interesting articles and basically anything else to entertain you on the Internet.

16. App Store:

If you have an Apple laptop, then utilize the endless amounts of games or fun apps in the app store. Go crazy. Download them all.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
