9 Totally Awesome and Helpful Links

Have you ever aimlessly scrolled through thousands of tweets, Instagram posts, and timelines in hopes to cure your boredom? Have you ever felt sad and wanted a way to make yourself feel better (even just a little bit)? Below is a list of links -- from cat live cams to fun games, they're here to fix whatever may be the problem.


If you're bored:

Weavesilk - one of the coolest sites I have seen. Press your cursor on the empty, black space and drag. Watch electric colors dance across your screen as you draw some really cool art.

The Useless Web - a website that takes you, with a push of a button, to a random site. Try it out! Most of them are weird and useless but that's what makes it fun! (warning: some sites may play loud music/sounds, so be careful with earbuds!)


Orisinal Games - a bunch of mini-games that you can play. Click on one of the squares and it will bring you to that game!



Neon Flames - similar to Weavesilk, you can create some art. More specifically, you can create a 'nebula'. Choose the colors you want to use and click in the black, open space. Watch the blank slate turn into a galaxy.

If you're sad, stressed or just need to vent:

The Quiet Place - one of my favorites by far for when I am stressed. The Quiet Place is a project/website that plays lulling music and brings you through a series of calm dialogue. Plug in your ear buds, turn your phone's ringer off and enjoy the serene site.



The Thoughts Room - another great tool for when you are stressed or feeling down. Also brought to you by The Quiet Place Project. Very similar to the link above, yet you are able to type out your feelings and get it off your chest. Allow the beautiful night sky background whisk you into the Thoughts Room.


The Comfort Spot - if you are loving the Project from above, try this out too. Another great platform where you can vent to strangers anonymously. Sometimes having someone else there helps.


Kitty Live Cam - some of the cutest little animals you will see. Animal Planet knows what us humans need in life, and that is live-action kitties.



Puppy Live Cam - same thing as the other one, just with a different kind of animal.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
