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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
