We’re literally days away from the end of fall classes. With the smell of holiday break in the air, it would be easy to lose sight of the goal. So here are some funny time wasters, but then it’s right back to work for all of you:

• Some people (none we can name) believe you’ll never be taken seriously as a teacher until you have a professorly name. Lucky for you we stumbled upon the Plucky Professor Name Generator. Now you can get your very own scholarly pseudonym to go with that elbow-patch cardigan.
• It seems like everyone is using infographics these days. No doubt, representing information visually has endless applications in the university setting. We just happen to like visual.ly’s collection of hilarious infographics too.
• We at the GATA Network don’t condone pranks or shenanigans of any kind. That said, what a brazen group of Harvard students did to the Yale campus before the most recent Harvard-Yale football game was pretty funny. Posing as Yale tour guides, the pranksters told potential students things like “…there’s a lot you can do [at Yale]: we have great WiFi.” Watch the full video of their escapade here.

Happy Friday!
