11 Struggles Of College Life Described By Spongebob Gifs

College is great. It’s full of new friends, interesting classes, and tons of freedom. However, as with anything, college comes with its own set of challenges. Student loans, on-campus living, and long study nights can all pile together to become a huge ball of stress. Although the struggle might be all too real, we might as well laugh about it. Here are 11 struggles of college life, eloquently described by some of my favorite Spongebob gifs.

1. When you microwave something in your dorm and can still smell it hours later.
