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?

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

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.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
