Imagine that for once in your busy college life, you actually have nothing to do. You have all the free time in the world and everything seems to be going perfectly; all your work is done, all your meetings have finished; there is nothing that you need to finish because, this being a fantasy and all, you’ve already done it. Now open your eyes and come back to reality. OK, so that wasn’t very nice. But let’s say you do have free time and are looking for another website besides bored.com. “Time” magazine compiled a list of their top 50 websites; however, here are a few that seemed a little more relevant to things college students might be interested in.
Movie buffs, beware! All movie trivia is waiting right at your finger tips on the Internet Movie Database. This database holds the key to 260,000 film and television productions made in the past 115 years.
Need to go visit a best friend from home at their college? Road trip! But, how do you get there? Go to randmacnally.com. The directions are cleaner and more detailed then the ones that can be found on mapquest.com.
Looking for fun facts? Visit howstuffworks.com. On one website, you can learn about mortgages, how the shuttle works, how DVD’s work, even how baggage claim at airports work.
Panicking because you need to find a job? Visit careerjournal.com and get tips on job-hunting, salary and hiring information, and managing your career.
Having trouble with Spanish homework? TryIlovelanguages.com for translation services.
Believe all of those urban legends? Like the one about the kid who ate the pop rocks and then drank the soda? If you are searching for the truth, bored.com will tell you which urban legends really are true and which ones are just a myth.
Even music videos can be viewed at launch.com.
All these websites and more are playing on a local internet browser coming soon to a computer near you.
