Exams are coming, which can only mean one thing.

On your marks, get set, PROCRASTINATE!

Facebook

The ultimate distraction device. During exams, you’ll know everything that everyone is up to from the continuous, news-feed scrolling. Oh, and you’ll end up stalking everything and everyone out of total boredom.

For an alternative, have a look at Lamebook, a collection of some of the worst Facebook posts ever

Twitter

The best place to rant about the amount of work you have to do, all in 140 characters. It’s also a great place to see how little everyone else has done. #EverybodyWins

And if you’re not following these guys, you’re missing out on:

Student Problems

Very British Problems

UberFacts

The Tab Edinburgh

Pinterest

It takes a while to get used to it, but then you’re hooked. An online pinboard of everything you love. Just type in what you like and you have a never-ending stream of related posts.

Be warned – not everything you see on Pinterest is as easy as it looks…just have a look here at the collection on Pinterest Fails

Akinator

If you haven’t experienced “Akinator-the web genius,” you’re seriously missing out. The online 20 questions game; you think of someone and after asking a series of questions, Akinator will guess who you’re thinking of!

Buzzfeed

A collection of articles on a collection of topics. Every article will misleadingly direct you to another and before you know it, it’s dark outside and you’ve done no work.

FMyLife

However bad your day is going, these guys have got it worse. A comical selection of people’s “FML!” moments, and you can submit your own.

For others like this have a look at MyLifeIsAverage and TextsFromLastNight

Stumbleupon

A collection of web pages that are selected at random. You can select your interests. It’s a black-hole of procrastination.

FoodPornDaily

Don’t look at this page if all you have in your flat is a packet of supernoodles and a box of cheesy pasta. It posts photos of mouthwatering foodporn.

Tumblr

You can literally lose hours of your life to this site. Whatever you’re interested in, someone will have a blog you can follow, reblog and obsess over. But beware, Tumblr is the home of Fangirls.

We’ve picked out some blogs from Tumblr worth having a look at:

#Whatshouldwecallme The most relatable blog on the internet, with funny GIFs to laugh at. (I managed to scroll to page 23 before I realised 15 minutes had gone…)

imremebering everything from your childhood on one blog. Might have you loudly exclaiming “Remember this?!” in the library…

ilovecharts basically just charts of everything you could ever want a chart of…
