Those other things You wanna see

Prompt 2

What 5 websites do you visit often, and why?

Well... at this point, I visit Facebook, Gmail, and QuestionableContent all (mostly) daily. I say mostly there because I don't usually check all of those sites on the weekend.

I check Facebook most days just because I like to know what's going on with my mom and I like to see my Twin's statuses, more often than not. I've also recently started talking to one of my classmates on there, and it's been pretty cool to get to know her a little bit outside of class. Other than that, my phone and my tablet are both almost always connected to Facebook, but that's more so that I can post pictures of my kittehs than for any other reason. I update statuses every once in a while (probably on average of once or twice a week), and I usually just like to use it to connect with people that I have no other way to connect with them.

I check Gmail almost every day, mostly because it's my email. Haha. If I don't check my email for a few days, I usually have a ton of spam to go through, as oppose to just checking it daily to delete things as they come in. It's just easier that way, and it's usually something to do while I'm waiting for my next class to start.

I like to read the daily (monday-friday) comics that get posted on QC.... I've been reading this webcomic for almost four years now, and I absolutely love the realism that Jeph Jacques is able to illustrate so well! It's a great webcomic, and I highly recommend that college kids everywhere read it (for those of you who don't want a life for the next three weeks, it's currently on webcomic #2371, and it's been updating every mon-fri for the past 10 years!)!!! :)

The other sites that I go to often are GoodReads and my bank's website.

For those of you who LOVE books like I do, GoodReads is the best site I have ever found! It helps you keep track of what books you own, and what books you want to read, and what books you've already read! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this site for it's simplicity and easy-to-use-ness! Keeper and I have taken to visiting Half Price Books relatively regularly, and the GoodReads app is a FANTASTIC help in knowing what books we already own (especially for those lengthy series that some of us enjoy!) and which books we have yet to find! I cannot rave enough good things about this site. If you ever find a book that's not in their database, there's an easy way to add it into the database. If you ever want to export a list of the books you've added to lists, there's an easy way to do that! If you ever want to add a bunch of books that you've recently acquired to your lists, there's an easy way to scan ISBN codes through the app. If you ever want to win free books (usually ARCs or promotional books for the next in the series), there's a page devoted all to giveaways! If you ever read a book that you loved, there's an easy way to write a review of it! If you hated a book, there's an easy way to let the world know that too! Goodreads is definitely one of my favorite websites.

My bank website is pretty self-explanatory. I check how much moneyz I have, of course. I do this a couple times a week, just to verify that the amount I think I have is correct with what the Bank thinks I have.

Those are my five top sites. What're yours?
