Getting the Mind Busy

Can’t live without a brain. Wait, that’s debatable. Anyway, here are some mental resources to get your brain blood pumpin’.

Hippocampus

 http://www.hippocampus.org/ and http://classic.hippocampus.org/

Best academic website ever. OK, maybe there are others just as good, but so far, haven’t found any. Though there is a limited amount of subjects, the depth they got into them is insane. So anyone who needs help understanding things in the sciences or math, go here. 

SparkNotes http://www.sparknotes.com/

Everyone must know of SparkNotes. It’s the place to go to get shortened plot lines and notes on famous and not-so-famous literature. I don’t promote only using these notes without reading the book; do the assignments, and use SparkNotes as a guide. They also have other fun stuff on the website as well. 

Lumosity http://www.lumosity.com/

Fun little brain game spot. Though it’s been highly debated if such games can actually increase your brain capacity, I find sheer joy out of getting a break from regular work and giving my brain a more… creative outlook on work.
