Have you ever had one of those days where, no matter what you do or how hard you try, you just can't seem to entertain yourself? I know I have. Using a variety of sources from around the Interwebs, I have gathered a list of 11 websites and videos that are sure to pull you out of that slump. Maybe.

1. Shrek's Day Out

Sure to induce a stroke or a premature birth. Maybe both. Who knows.

2. Why? How? Who?

c1.staticflickr.com

Don't let the name fool you. It is, in fact, a website, just one that leads you somewhere strange. Try it out for size. I'd tell you what happens, but spoilers are never fun.

3. The News, But Make It Futuristic

www.newsoffuture.com

Have you ever wondered what will happen in the year 2038? Wonder no more with newsoffuture.com! This website allows you to read "fictional" articles from the distant future, which is what I'm sure is what everyone wants to do.

4. There Are Plenty of Fish In the Sky

salmonofcapistrano.com

Swim upstream with this next website. No, you don't get context. Is it a game? Is it an alternate reality? You don't get to know until you click.

5. Who's Writing These?

A useful website for when you need an extremely strange compliment to give someone. Perhaps when dueling.

6. The Woods Beckon

You have two choices each time in this seemingly-simple RPG. Choose wisely.

7. Potato Potato

Potato potato potato potato potato potato potato potato potato potato.

8. Who Even Reads Anymore?

Why spend hours upon hours reading an actual book who you can have the basic plot condensed into a couple of sentences? This is SparkNotes on crack.

9. This Guy Needs to Get His Head Checked Out

This game has no comprehensible description. You just have to experience it for yourself. Yeah, it's all fun and games until an arm starts coming out of his ear.

10. My Child

An interesting RPG in which you play a witch taking care of an egg.

11. Ha! When Pigs Fly

Who'd've thought that pigs would, in fact, fly in an opera house? Certainly not me. An idle game in which you generate and kill pigs that fly around with opera in the background.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
