You know the feeling you get when you’re knee deep in college essays, science labs and other things you should be doing, but you just kept putting off? Procrastination - we’ve all been there.

Put off your work a little longer and browse these websites. Besides, who really needs college anyways?

We all know and love YouTube, our resident website for viral media. You know the videos your friends are talking about? Yeah, they are all there. Many times I have found myself browsing the website, looking for new ways to waste my time. Though extremely unproductive, it does have its up sides. Thanks to YouTube, I can now Crank Dat Soulja Boy like a pro. I have also learned that an iPhone can not be blended, and clicking sketchy links will most likely end in being Rick Roll’d.

If you are like me, and get aggravated by the 10 minute rule on YouTube, Veoh is the site for you. Veoh allows unlimited minutes in video uploads and features an amazing array of podcasts, independent films and American and international shows. If I ever need to catch up on my favorite Japanese soap operas, it’s only a click away!

Another guilty pleasure of mine is YTMND, a website that hosts a collection of poorly done web pages with popular jokes and internet fads. Type in virtually anything and the website returns pages full of hilarious text art, slideshows and animated clips. Now I warn you, going to this site will lower your IQ by at least 1000. Whether or not it’s worth the loss is entirely up to you.

My list just wouldn’t be complete without Perezhilton.com. Gossip blogger Perez Hilton provides the latest “info” on all your favorite celebs, complete with attitude and trashy humor. I check this website almost religiously, as I just can’t get enough of Britney’s breakdowns or Amy Winehouse’s rehab visits. Ever so often, I even dare to indulge in the race to be the first commenter (which fails and results in an inflamed index finger).
