Midterms are almost done and finals seem so distant. These few weeks mean freedom, but you realize you’re done with How I Met Your Mother and all caught up with other shows. Instead of binge watching Netflix and going through all the old jokes on r/funny, you can explore blogs that’ll actually inspire you. Here are some clickable links that makes you smile after a brutal breakup, teaches you style, expand your horizons—and most importantly, save you from boredom.
