Websites that I like

Hello,
so we are now into the fourth week of the semester and one problem that many students face is effective time management. The enemy of this is procrastination. There are a few time suckers that I encounter, and I thought I would share them.

So I talk to my family and since I don't have much money I go for the free options. These include the good-old messenger and Skype (if you don't have Skype, you should). With both of these you can use the webcam and they are free. It's good to see how fast little people grow while you're away.

My biggest new time-waster is Facebook. You can find people you haven't seen in ages, join groups and other random, unnecessary activities. A lot of Canadians are on it, but it's not as popular in Australia (part of my theory of them being less into collective activity). But apparently other students here use Hi5, which I am avoiding checking out, for fear that I would become addicted.

I also love Post Secret. Anyone can mail in a postcard with a secret on it and it could be put up there. Some of the things people share about themselves are disturbing, funny, sad, embarrassing, etc. It's very voyeuristic looking at other people's, especially strangers, secrets.

Another one is Natalie Dee, where she puts up cartoons. This is one of favourite ones, I laughed my ass off when I saw it.

Anyway, wish me luck this semester!
