In a generation with endless ways to procrastinate, we collegiettes love spending hours on the internet. With countless amounts of social media sites and blogs, we’re lucky to have such a wide-range of sites to choose from. Here are my top five picks on the best time worthy websites!

1. Thought Catalog

For those of us who enjoy reading, this site posts several articles a day. The subjects vary from life to love and culture, and all are written from such a diverse group of writers. The best thing about this site is that the articles are non-fiction, relatable and relevant to the readers, which makes it so much more interesting to read. These writers are all super creative, so you definitely won’t get bored reading their articles! 

2. BuzzFeed

 BuzzFeed is a website that is based around technological innovation. Their content always includes videos, GIFS, and images that can keep you entertained for hours. Their posts cover politics, tech, entertainment and food, just to name a few. This website is awesome; if you don’t believe me check out some popular posts from Rachel’s Top 5 BuzzFeed Picks.

3. 9 Gag

Main purpose of this site = Fun. This website is ideal after a 5 hour study session or if you need a break from life. It revolves around comical and interesting images that are uploaded by users. It is the largest and fastest growing online comedy community, making it the perfect place to enjoy spending hours laughing and procrastinating.

4. The Beauty Department

Miss fashion and beauty expert Lauren Conrad and two other talented ladies, Kristen Ess and Amy Nadine, started this website to establish a place where girls can read about beauty, hair, and fashion, all in one convenient place. The site offers make-up and hair tutorials, current fashion obsessions, and inspirations. With daily posts on how-to videos and photo tutorials, these beauty department ladies make hair and make-up look so simple and easy to do!

5. UpWorthy

This is a website for viral content. It’s a place where anyone can share videos which they think are “worthy” enough for people to watch. UpWorthy is a fairly new website that launched in March 2012, so not many know about this cool social hub. People who want to know what’s up with the world in a more entertaining way should definitely check out the videos from this website!
