Procrastinating on facebook is a favorite midterm antidote, but sometimes, when I get tired of reading the same wall post again, or laboring over what a friend's status could mean, I like to look at other Internet sites. There are thousands of sites out there to explore when you are desperate to ignore your mounting pile of homework, and what better way to ease the guilt than surfing sites that are beneficial to your life? I'm talking about green sites of course, and my good friend Oprah has helped us out by compiling a list of some of the best ones in her February magazine. Check out some of these links on your next study break, and you might be inspired to do something good- rather than wanting to kill your friend for tagging that compromising picture of you.
