This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CU Boulder chapter.


Monday morning, 8:00 am lecture, and the girl sitting in the row in front of me spent the entire time clicking away on Facebook.  From clicking through a hundred identical party pictures to stalking a friend’s wall, then shutting her computer and momentarily checking her blackberry, I have to ask-how many hours can you really spend on Facebook?  We’re here to show you how many other procrastination-perfect websites are out there that will entertain you for hours.  Finals are lurking and these websites deserve some of your valuable time…
