Now that it has become second nature when I enter my room to
turn on my computer, almost as often as I turn on the light, I have come to
realise that there are certain websites that are part of my daily routine. With
easy access from my toolbar and extravagant Virgin internet, I have no choice
but to waste a certain amount of time each day finding out what is going on in
the world. I find myself allocating ‘procrastination slots’ each time I sit
down to work, fully in the knowledge of the inevitable website wasting
adventure upon which I am about to embark…
Facebook. So
obvious that it barely needs mentioning. This is not just to be found on my
toolbar, but as my homepage as well. Even when I don’t have my computer on me, I
have a portable Facebook checker in my handbag in the form of my phone. It is
embarrassing, time wasting and unnecessary but I’m fairly certain that this is
one of the more relatable ones. Stop judging- you know you do it too!
Daily Mail TV&Showbiz Online. So I thought Facebook was embarrassing? It’s completely
addictive to find out whether Lady Gaga has put on some weight or whether the
cast of Made in Chelsea attended some premiere. However, after a good few
minutes of horrendous judgements, I feel so guilty that I move onto website
number 3…
BBC News. Once I have
discovered what is going on in the celebrity world, it’s time to even out the
balance and find out what is actually happening in the real world. However, if I
can’t quite face anything too thought-provoking, there’s always the BBC
entertainment section that can fill up my gossip quota.
Twitter. Now I would
consider myself a twitter newbie, but people keep telling me stories of friends
finding jobs through tweeting and being contacted by incredible people so I
think I should stick with it. Also, it’s a great way to find out what is going
on around you, especially in a university. I found out the Queen was in Bristol
last week through the Twittersphere…
Student Beans. This
is definitely another guilty pleasure, but one that never fails to make me
laugh. If you haven’t spent time on this site, do not hesitate and head over
right away. Think FML and Uni Confessions all mixed into one. After a tough day
of lectures (or when feeling guilty about not having gone to any) hearing
stories of other students doing unimaginably stupid things will cheer you up no
end.
