So you’re on study break finally done all your exams, and find yourself with loads of free time. What are you going to do? Well, if you’re like me you end up scrolling through the internet. During these hours long expeditions, I find some pretty interesting websites that are worth the look at. So if you’re still dying of boredom and looking to be entertained, here are 5 Cool Websites you can check out:
1. Upworthy–
Upworthy is one of my go-to sites because it always posts interesting and innovative content. They share things that are both entertaining and thought invoking. Some posts can encourage debate and heavy thinking, and I always find it interesting when I see people’s different views on an issue. If you feel like you want to be entertained and educated at the same time, check out this site. It’s worth a look for sure!
2.Mental_floss–
Mentalfloss is a quirky site, but that’s what makes it so good. From countless amazing facts to interesting questions answered, to lists or things you didn’t know, mentalfloss has it all. If you’re the type who loves to learn random things and facts, this is the site for you. The more you read, the more you can amaze your friends with your factual knowledge. And not only that, but it has a YouTube channel hosted by John Green. If that doesn’t make you want to at least look at this site, I don’t know what will.
3.Freerice–
Freerice is a site that I had found out about long ago and had forgotten about until I remembered it by chance recently. Its concept is simple: a game of sorts, you answer questions on a certain subject. If you choose correctly, you donate 10 grains of rice to feed the hungry. It’s simple and easy enough, and you can learn quite a bit if you play extensively, all the while helping those in need. A great trade-off if you ask me. There is some understandable skepticism behind the site, however it is run by the United Nation’s World Food Programme (WFP) supplying the services free of charge. Its a great site that can help you learn new things for a cause and if you still feel unsure, they have an extensive FAQ about what they do.
Everyone has a secret, and this website lets you submit them anonymously. If you ever feel the need to get something off your chest, or want to give some support to those in need, you can go to this site. A lot of the secrets on here may very well be similar to what you are going through, and can tell you that you aren’t alone in what you are facing. Sixbillionsecrets just gives a voice to those who wish to be heard by someone somewhere, and that is why I love this site.
5.Thisissand–
If you feel creative today and have a lot of free time on your hands, check out thisissand. It’s basically a site that turns pixels on the screen into digital sand, where you can change its color and create a cool picture. If you have enough time, patience, precision and artistic ability, you can create some pretty amazing pieces. Patience it key in making a cool art piece here though, because it does build itself up pixel by pixel. When you are done your masterpiece, you can showcase it by sharing it in the gallery.
And that concludes my list. I hope you take the time to check some of these sites out, you won’t regret it! 🙂
