Four Great Time Wasters: Tuesday, March 7th

Hello readers (: Thanks for checking out my blog today. I'm finding it fun and a bit more of a challenge to post in groups, so this is the first of two posts I will do today, counting for Tuesday, March 6th. I know many of you are college students like myself, and you probably need an excuse to waste time while midterms are just around the corner, so I put together a list of some of my favorite websites to waste time on. I hope you find some new ones on here and remember to leave a comment if you like what you've read!

1. 1,000 Awesome Things
          According to the Website... "1000 Awesome Things is just a time-ticking countdown of 1000 awesome things. Launched June, 2008 and updated every weekday." Basically, it's really awesome! I loved to go on here and see the tips listed, and I pretty much always agree with the things they find awesome. It inspired me to write my own 1,000 Things That Make Me Happy.

2. My Life Is Average (MLIA)
          This site is pretty great. It is a sarcastic play on words, providing little snippets of users' lives that show just how UNaverage life can be. Some stories are cute, others are funny, and some are just downright outrageous!

3. StumbleUpon
          You know all those useless toolbars that many websites try to download onto your browser? This is one toolbar you NEED. It's amazing - allowing users to "stumble" through the world wide web based on their selected interests, bringing up hundreds of random websites to waste time on. This is where I found a lot of my own time wasters, honestly! Another great feature: pictures. I love photography, and stumbleupon allows me to just browse pictures from all over the world and internet for hours.

4. Pinterest
          I am pretty new to Pinterest, but so far I love it. Users are supposed to be invite only, but I got an invite from the site in less than a day after I requested one - so don't let the "exclusive" claim turn you away. Here is the basic concept: Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard. Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes. Once you sign up, remember to follow me (javagypsy7)!

So go on, waste time! And thanks for reading!
