Visual art, confessional poetry, catharsis at its best - whatever you want to call it, postsecret.com is one website you won't be able to ignore. From intricately designed to scribbled on the back of a parking ticket, these confessional postcards range from witty to poignant to downright heartbreaking but serve as a unanimous reminder that we are all in this together.

When I'm procrastinating, I stare at the Google homepage waiting for the graphic to change. I like to be the first to see it, so this week's been pretty exhausting with all the Olympics stuff. The December holidays are pretty epic, too, and whenever a famous artist's birthday or death day comes up - I'm glued.

Cake Wrecks showcases the worst cake decorating on the planet. Cakes with misspellings ("Happy Super Bowel" is a favorite), cakes that make no sense (is that supposed to be a turkey?) and cakes that are just downright creepy (why would I want to eat a pregnant woman's belly?). This website will have you salivating and slapping your knees at the same time.

On thisiswhyyourefat.com, "where dreams become heart attacks," users post pictures of disgustingly unhealthy foods. Some are artistic, like the narwhal-shaped bacon-and-chicken creation, while others, like deep-fried manicotti hot-dogs, are nauseating. It's a little frightening, though, when some of them make me hungry (the Twinkie casserole looks so tasty!).

I'll admit it: I'm a Tumblr addict. Tumblr is the multimedia blogging platform that runs most of your favorite blogs (This Is Why You're Fat, Look At This Fucking Hipster, Unhappy Hipsters). It's endlessly customizable, and the platform makes it easy to upload photos, videos and music. Best of all, bloggers are encouraged to share, modify and "reblog" each others' posts. Forget Blogspot; this is where the cool kids are.

As the name suggests, by setting cyber-foot on this site, you are taking a real gamble: This is Omegle with video, and it can be scary. But while I've seen my fair share of inappropriate goings-on (seriously, put it away!), I've also made several new friends around the globe. I've been asked by a man in a pink top hat what I would do if I had 24 hours to live, and I've spoken with an adorable Turkish man who typed to me with some lag time, as he needed to use a dictionary to translate. Chatroulette is like a box of chocolates ... you know the rest.

Like any good procrastination website, How Stuff Works can trick you into feeling as though you aren't actually procrastinating. "I am learning!" Yes, I am learning about "stuff" and how it works. Cool. Personal favorite past "lessons": toilets, tattoo removal and rocket engines.

Hipster Puppies features photos of dogs in patterned scarves and old-lady glasses, with such classic captions as "Cosmo regrets hooking up with this girl on the first day of Bonnaroo because now she won't leave" and "Punky figured his student loan money would be better spent on a vintage cr78 drum machine he found on eBay." Classic.

This brilliant site captures photos of all the crazies who shop at Walmart. This isn't for the faint of heart: Be prepared for obesity, tattoos, undergarment over-exposure and general bad taste. One quick visit to this site and you are guaranteed to feel classier. I will never go to Walmart without a camera again!

If GoodCrush is too tame for you, head to the personals section of craigslist. One word: frightening. But in a fascinating sociological experiment kind of way. "Strictly Platonics" are sad. "Casual Encounters" are just plain disturbing. If it's your first time, you can have fun guessing what the acronyms stand for with your friends. Also, don't underestimate reading these ads aloud in small groups. Terribly fun.

Ever feel that you're over-paying for your Princeton education? Well, you're right -you can learn everything you ever need to know on Sporcle for free. The online quiz site teaches you all about the most important things in life: the location of Sao Tome and Principe, the names of the dwarf planets and, of course, the world turkey population. It's all guilt-free, too, because, despite how it may affect your GPA, Sporcle is completely educational.

This site is a stream of things that people find interesting, ranging from news to really old internet phenomena. If enough viewers find an article interesting, it makes its way to the front page - think Reddit or Digg, but way more fun. Sample posts: "Twilight Body Pillows, "The Avatar Novel No One Wants" and "Lady GaGa Definitely Doesn't Have A Penis." It's totally unfiltered and immensely addictive. I can only look at it a few times a day.

Creepy, right? But also kinda cool. There's a "Fuck Yeah" site for almost anything you can imagine, but this one is both gorgeous and informative. It pairs striking, often haunting, images of abandoned cities with short explanatory blurbs. I'm all for photos of kittens and Zooey Deschanel, but when I need something more substantive, I come here.

This is an excellent time waster. The gist of the site is for users to post their strange behaviors, thoughts or tendencies in search of compatriots. Some of the entries are pretty hilarious: Is it normal to: "want to kill barking dogs?," "Have deja vu about having deja vu," "literally be in love with Mary Jane." But my personal favorite asks if it's weird "that my boyfriend is freaked out by condiments".
