dailies

i used to play neopets when i was younger. actually i continued playing up until last summer. it's a fun site, mostly for the message boards.
on neopets, there are certain sites that you can go to and collect different items, like jelly or an omelette.
well, i have daily sites that i go to. i don't reap any physical rewards, but these sites are fun to visit everyday.

Word of the Day
just simply from dictionary.com, but if you remember the word of the day you can try to use it during the day. it's a nice little challenge, and it improves your vocabulary.

SAT Question of the Day
if you haven't taken the SAT yet, you should join this site and do the question of the day. it averages your total scores so you can see how you're doing, and compare yourself to all other members. nice little daily prep for SAT-ers. if you have taken the test, you can brush up on your skills, i guess.
my mom and i both do the SAT question of the day. i excel in writing, while she is the mathlete.

Wikipedia
wikipedia is wonderful. everyday it has an article of the day, on the front page. it can be pretty interesting sometimes. also, the right-hand side has a news feed so you can brush up on wordly events.

Wikiquote
this has a nice quote everyday, with an audio clickable so you can hear it read to you. today's was great, here it is ->

Consent in virtue knit your hearts so fast,
That still the knot, in spite of death, does last;
For as your tears, and sorrow-wounded soul,
Prove well that on your part this bond is whole,
So all we know of what they do above,
Is that they happy are, and that they love.
Let dark oblivion, and the hollow grave,
Content themselves our frailer thoughts to have;
Well-chosen love is never taught to die,
But with our nobler part invades the sky.

~ Edmund Waller ~

it's beautiful!

A Softer World
this is one of my favorite sites in the world wide web. it isn't updated everyday but it does quote often. it has photographs cut into sections with memorable words on them.here is my favorite one.

PostSecret
it's only updated on sundays, but sometimes people email in responses that get posted, so i visit everyday.






although it may seem like a large amount of sites, visiting all these only takes about 10 minutes. it's worthwhile, at least i believe so.
