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.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:
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.
It's exactly what it sounds like. Remember the days of playing hot and cold when your older sibling would hide your Gameboy?
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
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.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.

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.
