As college students, we all inevitably face the issue of procrastination. Whether you are avoiding your laundry, an exam or heading to the gym, you need some things in your life to keep you busy and preoccupied while avoiding he things you should be doing.

Hey, you’re going to procrastinate anyway, so you may as well be doing cool and interesting stuff like reading, catching up some great shows or checking out the best websites.
Last week I helped you procrastinate with books; the week before I gave you some of my favorite TV shows to waste your time with.

This week, I unveil five of my most favorite websites that help me put off all sorts of work that aren’t Facebook, YouTube, or Hulu.

Check out each one here and find some of your own favorites while exploring the web!

Website 1: 9Gag.com

The website’s tagline is “Just for Fun” and that’s exactly what it is: a compilation of funny pictures and videos.

Warning: don’t read this in class; there’s a good chance you’ll laugh out loud at least once.

Website 2: DoNothingFor2Minutes.com

This website will provide you with exactly what its name sounds like. Just be careful not to move your mouse.

Website 3: BuzzFeed.com

A cooler version of Digg and Reddit, Buzzfeed is a collaborative website where users can vote up or down on a post simply by clicking “like” or typing a one-word comment.

You can also predict what websites, pictures, etc. are going to go viral which is something I may or may not have established a betting pool for.

And, if you don’t want to do any of that, there are plenty of links to pages such as, “Jersey Shore Quotes Make Romantic Valentine’s Day Cards” just waiting to be appreciated.

Website 4: DailyPuppy.com

This is a website full of cute puppy pictures. Go now.

Website 5: Sporcle.com

For every hour I have spent in class, I have spent at least three procrastinating on Sporcle, a website full of user-created quizzes.

Not stupid quizzes like, “What Does Your Eye Color Mean?” but quick, educational quizzes like naming the seven dirty words you can’t say on TV (I can) or all of Charles Dickens’s novels (I can’t).

About Olivia Cho

Olivia Cho is a native New Yorker who was relocated just in time for her awkward middle and high school years to New Bern, North Carolina. After applying to a series of colleges and begging that at least one be kind enough to accept her, Olivia was admitted to New York University, where she is currently a sophomore double majoring in Journalism and Dramatic Literature. When she's not blogging for College Cures she's either studying, eating off the various NYC food carts, or volunteering through Peer Health Exchange to teach high schoolers about contraception. In her spare time, Olivia likes to write scripts starring her friends, play the GameCube, and watch videos of baby otters on YouTube.
