8 Websites To Help Distract You From All The Things You Should Be Doing

All of us would love to remain focused while studying, but that's almost a full-time job in itself.

8 Websites To Help Distract You From All The Things You Should Be Doing

I wish I was able to stay focused on studying for finals the entire time that I've plopped myself down in the library, but that's not how it usually ends up. While distracting myself these past couple of days, here's some of the best websites I've found to help:

1. Pinterest

Because who doesn't love pinning 100 workouts that we ideally would love to do, but we all know we probably will forget about the next time we step foot in the gym. And when I get married, I'll be able to refer to my wedding board that has every single thing I could ever dream of wanting for my wedding; my future husband is one lucky guy.


2. Tumblr

The best website to get in your feels and connect with people who are just as witty as you are. But it's probably not the best website to be on in public considering you never know what inappropriate picture might pop up while scrolling through your dashboard.

3. AllWomenStalk

A website that gives women advice from the makeup that's best for your complexion to piecing together the perfect going out outfit.

4. Elite Daily

A variety of articles ranging from politics to relationships written by the voices of Generation-Y. It has become one of the fastest growing community of millennial voices.


5. Thought Catalog

Another incredibly relatable website that allows people to share their ideas and stories. Almost anyone can find an article that they could connect with.

6. Stumble Upon

With an insane amount of categories to stumble through, you could be on this website for hours. From wallpapers, pasta recipes or new places to vacation to, you can find just about anything to entertain you. While stumbling, you can like or dislike each page for the website to tailor to the interests you favor.

7. Total Sorority Move

Although I'm not a sorority girl, this website still has some good content on it. While scrolling through, I always get a good laugh at some of the brutally honest articles and can usually relate to them on some level.


8. The Odyssey

Whether it be supporting your peers at your own university or reading other student's articles, The Odyssey is an online publication that continues to grow rapidly with views everyday. You can find any type of content on this website and remain intrigued for a good while.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
