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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
