Take Advantage of The Internet Now

Imagine this.

You’re currently sitting in front of a brightly lit screen, wasting away your retinas to the ass shaking of Nicki Minaj, while in the back of your head a small whisper repeats the words “what are you doing with your life”. Slowly you examine the top right corner of your desktop to see it is now three twenty four in the morning. Things go south once you acknowledge the Youtube suggestions are the worst possible combinations entertainment could offer. It is at this specific moment that the remainder of the brain cells you once owned have now completely vanished, never to replenish your mind again.

If you’ve never questioned your actions on the internet you are either nonexistent or you have never once used the internet in your life. The internet is arguably one of the greatest inventions ever created. Mainly for it’s ability to contain an intensely vast amount of information at your fingertips. In that case, then why do I continue to only have the Soundcloud, Twitter, and Youtube tabs open daily? The problem is with all these distractions you can barely stay focused enough to search the productive side of it all. If a self-centered asshole can waste your time writing a crummy article pretending as if he knows how the internet works, then essentially we have reached a point where there is just too much of everything. It’s up to each individual to examine through the mass amounts of bullshit and decide what’s significant to them in this internet age. Below I tried my best to categorize some of my favorite websites from my previous experiences in order to promote internet productivity. So stop jacking off to the new iOS 8 for a couple seconds because who knows maybe you might actually learn something new today. The links below range between a wide variety of subjects such as education, podcasts, inspirations, music, and volunteering. Please enjoy!
