6 Things You Can Do While Earning Your Psychology Degree Online

So online colleges are all the rage these days, but who wants to actually pay attention all the time during those classes?  The whole point of online classes is the ability to do other things while you educate yourself.  So without further ado, here are seven things you can do to busy yourself while taking online psychology courses.

1. Begin to understand the deviant mind with a first person shooter game. This time killing strategy one works a lot better if you’re just listening to lectures.  All you have to do is open a new tab (ctrl+T for most browsers) and find your favorite game to play, and shazam!  Now you’re learning about human brains while you’re also plastering someone else’s all over the wall.

2.  Sleep. Not much explanation needed here.  Just like in a real college class, you can quite easily nab a few z’s while you’re listening to your professor prattle on about the various types of human personality.  A bonus: this one can actually save you time if you want to go to bed a little later each night.  Isn’t college great?

3. Earn another psychology degree.  Here's an idea. While you’re dutifully attending your prestigious online college, how about enrolling in another college and earning another psychology degree?  All things are better in pairs, that’s just a fact of life: eyes, kidneys, shoes.  You think it’s a coincidence that you have two of everything?  Nay.  So go on!  Enroll in a second online college, what’s the absolute worst that could happen?

4.  Learn a new language.  Como Esta?  You might not have understood that cryptic spanish phrase, but it actually means “how are you?”  With enough practice, you, too, can learn a foreign language and become a sorcerer of the spoken word.  Imagine the possibilities!  Instead of ordering Mexican food in English, you can do so in the language those enchiladas were meant to be ordered in - Spanish.  

5. Eat.  A simple time-saver, however you may want to consider going organic if this is going to be your main vehicle to kill time.  Why deal with the annoyances of on-campus dining when you can enjoy the same frozen food in the comfort of your own home?

6.  Write.  Whenever possible, write about your class.  If there’s nothing to write about, write about how boring it is.  When finished, you can post your Pulitzer Prize winning piece to Facebook, Tumblr, what have you.  Educational and fun!
