Everyone needs a break from their boring job or their lengthy project that is due in 3 days. If you are like me, and love to put things off until the last second, I have some great sites for you to get sucked into. Aside from your social media sites and places like StumbleUpon, and Buzzfeed, there is a vast world of procrastination destinations to explore.

1. For the people who enjoy interactive sites, we have WeaveSilk.

This little gem lets you doodle with ribbons. I would say this has the potential to kill maybe 45 minutes worth of time, and it always comes out looking awesome.

2. Also for the interactive types, there is Voxels.

This is a grid based time waster that lets you build things with cubes. You can create your own optical illusions. 30-45 minutes, gone.

3. If you're looking to laugh your ass off for a few hours, there is The Oatmeal.

This site is full of hilarious comics and blogs, for when you need a good laugh to keep your mind off that test you should be studying for.

4. If you have a dark sense of humor, Cyanide & Happiness is for you.

There are 100s of comics and video shorts for all your bizarre comedy needs. Most of them are pretty dark, others are wildly inappropriate but hey... we are all adults.


5. Now, for all of our Literary fans, there is always J.K. Rowling's Pottermore.

You're never too old to get lost in the Wizarding World. You can read the added stories, find your house, wand, patronous and even be sorted into the new Ilvermorny houses. Its very easy to spend hours running around the digital pages of Pottermore.

6. Bookroit is another good place to get lost.

There are podcasts, articles and all kinds of other book related goodies to feed your literary mind, here.

7. Animal Lovers beware... Kittenwar.

This site will waste all the time you don't have. All of it. You vote on which cat is cutest... and then it pulls up another. And another. And another.

8. And of course, the classic Cheezburger.

Its a giant pot of videos, pictures and gifs of funny animals other and random things, for when you need to put off a few hours of time.

9. For the productive procrastinator, there is FreeRice.


On this site, you test your vocabulary, and general knowledge. For every question you get right, 10 grains of rice are donated to feed the hungry through The World Food Program. 10 grains sounds pretty small, but after 2 hours into this site, you can feed a village.

10. If you're looking to find some good recipes for when you afford to eat real food, we have Foodily on hand.

Just type in an ingredient that sounds good to you and boom! Thousands of choices to explore.

11. HowStuffWorks is another fun one.

It has a bunch of categories for you to browse through. It is a good site for when you're really curious about how something works. (Obviously.)


11. When you want to be totally creeped out while you put off your responsibilities, go for CreepyPasta.


12. Or maybe you would like to scroll through some Ghost Stories.

This site contains stories sent in by people just like you, who have been through some scary stuff. You can also look through pictures of hauntings or check out their suggestions if you think you may have your own haunting going on. Creepy stuff right there.


There is an endless supply of procrastination tools on the internet my personal favorites are places where I can read about the stupid things that other people have done. It makes me feel better about my own life.


13. DamnYouAutocorrect is a great place to laugh at the unfortunate fails of technology.


14. When you want to judge people from afar, the ever so classy PeopleofWalmart.


Outfit fails, classy cars, glorious tattoos... its all here.

15. Last but certainly not least, The Slightly Warped Website. Yes, that's what its called.

This site is jam-packed with plenty of cool articles, stories and other, very strange things, for you to explore.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
