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.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
