5 Of The Weirdest Websites

This is what mindless browsing leads to.

5 Of The Weirdest Websites

According to Google, there are 644 million active websites on the internet, and from my years online, I've come upon some weird things. Not necessarily bad, but just... odd. There's a website for just about anything you can think of. Here are some of the strangest things I've found on my countless hours browsing.

1. Bristlr.com

Noted as the "Tinder for beards," the site is headlined as "Connecting those with beards to those who want to stroke beards." There's a dating website for every type of person, and this one is definitely legit, having been acclaimed from popular sources such as Cosmopolitan and The Washington Post. So if you've got a bushy face, or if you're looking for one, this is the site for you.

2. The Nicest Place on the Internet

University students might want to bookmark this for finals week. This site is an endless stream of people all around the world recording themselves giving you a virtual hug. You can watch and receive hugs, or even record and submit your own. Either way, the infinite comfort and soothing music make for a wonderful experience.


3. PointerPointer.com

Now this is what I meant when I said odd. I almost don't even want to call this a website; it's more of a... game? A program? Either way, the entire site is dedicated to finding a picture of someone pointing to your cursor, wherever it is on the screen. Mindlessly entertaining, but definitely something that makes you wonder who made this and why?


4. MapCrunch.com

For those of you who don't have Google Earth, or hate it as much as I do (seriously, it's so slow???), here's MapCrunch, a random-location-dropper, where each day you can end up somewhere new and explore to your heart's content. My first time here I followed some hikers up a mountain in Madagascar. Today it's a desert in New Mexico. This is a fun way to waste an hour or two while seeing a corner of the world you may not otherwise.


5. Fiverr.com

Featured on YouTube as "the $5 Internet Experiment," Fiverr.com is a website where you can spend $5 for people to do all sorts of services, from recording a drumline, translating a passage, or even something dumb, like drawing creepy cartoons. Even if you don't want to spend money, it's something interesting that shows that people really will do anything for money.

Happy browsing!

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.
