Generally speaking, I am a relatively good student. When it comes down to it, I'll do the assignment. Given, more often than I'd like to admit it's the day before my work is due, but overall I keep on top of things.
On those days when I have nothing to do (or rather, that I want to do :P) I turn to StumbleUpon.
Basically, it's the internet finding everything you never knew you loved and sticking it in a convenient button, alike so:Every time you click, a new page pops up from a category that you specified when you first installed the program (Art, photography, cooking, bikes, etc.). By clicking the little thumbs-up or thumbs-down, Stumble becomes even more you-specific and bookmarks thumbs-up pages for you.
Today I even stumbled upon a site that prods you to do your written work- you chose varying levels of annoyance and the website makes sure that you get a certain number of words or minutes of writing done. Check it out here!
Other cool stuff Stumble has brought to me-
-Pimped out drainpipes
-College ruled, that creates your schedule in a pretty, printable weekly sheet.
-The Top 10 Candy Stores of NYC
Seriously, the possibilities are endless. Whatever you love most in life stumble will find for you in all kinds of super interesting stuff on the web.
Sadly, it's only available for Mozilla Firefox (not Internet Explorer) which you should all be using anyway because it is less likely to be targeted for viruses; so you can protect your laptop and get a cool program! :)
Once you've installed Firefox, click here to install Stumble and begin procrastinating. Best of luck in all your web-based wanderings! :)
