5 Websites To Help You Get Work Done

We all wish we could zip through all our responsibilities in college and the workplace with perfect efficiency, wasting absolutely no time and getting everything done in a timely manner. Well, that's just not realistic for most of us who are human. But here are a few websites that can help boost your productivity and make working a little more pleasant.

1. Momentum

Momentum is an extension for Chrome that converts your 'New Tab' into a working dashboard. It displays a beautiful scenic background, greets you by name, and allows you to add a 'focus.' It also has the weather of your current location, an inspirational quote, and the ability to create a todo list right from your new tab.

2. Todoist


Todoist isn't just an online to-do list. You can create tasks with specific times, labels, priorities, or for a certain project. You can sort tasks by 'Next # of Days,' or view all upcoming tasks and sort by date, priority level, and more. And every time you complete a task, you earn Karma points to track your productivity. Even better, there's an app too, so you can stay synced with tasks on your phone.

3. Pandora

Everyone knows Pandora is great for jamming out, but it's perfect for getting work done as well. Try their Instrumental Station or Smooth Jazz for background music that will dull your surroundings and keep you from getting distracted.

4. soundrown

Soundrown is like Pandora, but instead of music, it's just background noise. With settings like 'coffee shop,' 'night,' or 'fire,' you can put yourself in the perfect mental space to be productive. You can mix different sound effects and control the volume of each, to create a rainy night or a fire crackling in a coffee shop.

5. Silk

You've been working so hard, you deserve a break! Silk is a website for 'Interactive Generative Art,' or in other words, high tech doodling. There are options to change colors, how to reflect or mirror your doodle, and to share it with others. It's a relaxing way to let your brain take some time off while you create art.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
