15 Websites to Help You Procrastinate

With finals quickly approaching, it may seem like now is a great time to buckle down and crack open that book you've neglected all semester. But if you're like many other students, you're going to wait until the absolute last moment before getting your study on. If you're looking for some new ways to pass the time, here are some prime procrastination sites to help your forget that the inevitable is inching closer.

1. Cheezburger:

Looking for some laughs? This site is filled with funny images, videos, and memes. It's a bit unorganized for my taste, but the more you have to dig, the more time you've effectively wasted.

2. Failbook:

Ever scroll through your Facebook timeline and see those articles that advertise the "worst Facebook fails," and you click it hoping for some laughs only to be disappointed when you have to click through to each new image? This is every one of those links, but without having to click through to view the next one. Save yourself the annoyance and find the Facebook fails here.

3. Best of Craigslist:

You never know what you're going to come across when you check out the best of Craigslist. Users voted, and these are the results.

4. 9gag:

Funny images, mesmerizing gifs, and relatable memes with an endless scroll. Need I say more?

5. PostSecret:

Maybe you need to get something off your chest, or maybe you'd rather read someone else's life rather than face your impending doom.

6. This Is Why You're Fat:

This one is full of nothing but greasy, fatty meals that people have created. Waste even more time by actually making ad eating some of these concoctions.

7. Tetris:

Watch the blocks build up like your piles of homework. Best of all, it's free, unlike your college education.

8. The Oatmeal:

This site is filled with comics by Matthew Inman . The style and type of humor somehow make these weirdly addicting. You may spend hours here without even realizing it.

9. Find the Invisible Cow:

It's exactly what it sounds like. Remember the days of playing hot and cold when your older sibling would hide your Gameboy? Well this is the same thing, except you're searching for the invisible cow, and the closer you get to it, the more enthusiastically the voice yells, "cow!"

10. BucketList:

Maybe you want to procrastinate by planning out your future. Seems like an oxymoron, but you can do it on Bucketlist. Add new goals and support others. Maybe your dreams will motivate you to get some work done, after you add at least a dozen more goals, right?

11. The Wiki Game:

We all know we shouldn't use Wikipedia as a source, but what better way to explore your assigned topic than to see how many clicks it takes to get you from the history of the American Revolution to David Bowie?

12. Dancing Orca:

If your assignment is due soon and you only need to waste a few minutes, this is an orca that will follow your cursor around for as long as you need.

13. What Should I Read Next?:

Not sure what you will do after you get it all handed in? Maybe you should take a break and figure out what book to read next.

14.Spreeder:

If you learn how to speed read, you can procrastinate even longer!

15. DuoLingo:

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think learning a new language is a great way to distract yourself from learning that math equation.

Of course, if none of the obscure sites tickle your fancy, you can always kill time by browsing Pinterest, Reddit, or StumbleUpon.

It's okay to take a break, but if you're looking for distractions because you're feeling overwhelmed, try the Make Everything Okay Button, or the Do Nothing for Two Minutes site. You're almost to the end of the semester. You've got this.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
