Against the Grain

You had a great time in college. But the whole time you were blowing off responsibility for toga parties, pool parties and keggers, your snotty English major roommate was slowly and steadily building a vocabulary Ben Stein would be jealous of. 

You can catch up. Move over Snood and Slingo, we have a new go-to game. FreeRice is a vocab-enhancing SAT prep-like site that throws words your way, which you find the perfect synonym for. It helps you to become more precise, read faster, perform better at meetings and sell yourself to those around you.

Not only is it fun and beneficial for your noggin, it also makes a donation of 10 grains of rice for each word you answer correctly to starving people around the world, with the help of generous advertisers and the UN’s World Food Program.

So now you’re as articulate as your English-studying frienemy, with the added bonuses that you didn’t throw away countless partying hours studying the way she did, and you’ve helped fight world hunger.

Which, in your book, totally trumps her 4.0 GPA.
