If you're alive, you've probably watched SpongeBob. But, you may not have realized how relatable it remains no matter how old you are. We may not be in their "target audience", but you never grow out of SpongeBob. College students, especially, can relate to many of the themes in the show. Here are some of the SpongeBob moments that I found the most relatable for us college students.
1. Breathing, $1.00
Okay, we all know college is expensive, no matter where you go, so I figured this was a good place to start.
College bills are RIDICULOUS (even with a scholarship)!
2. All-Nighters
You know you've had those nights when you've either saved work till the last minute, or just didn't have enough time for the assignment. The all-nighter doesn't discriminate, no matter what our reason, you still look/feel like this:
3. Best Paper Towels in Town or Around?
Okay, so you're out on our own for the first time in our lives, and you never realized all the things that you took for granted. For example: "How do I use a washing machine?" or "Do I get the best paper towels around or the best paper towels in town?"
4. Nothing? Check.
It seems that all college kids have a set amount of time that we need to spend procrastinating before we actually do something.
5. "Can I be Excused for the Rest of My Life?"
So maybe you're not about to get pummeled by the new kid in class, but you've definitely had moments where you've wanted to ask this question. (Finals week anyone?)
6. Regret
Let's face it, sometimes you get a little sentimental and wish you'd stayed at home.
7. "I'm Ugly and I'm Proud."
Anything goes for an 8 am class. Pajamas? Hair half up? I think college kids have a general understanding that no one looks their best at 8 am classes, so just rock it.
8. Marking Your Territory
Because somehow people think it's okay to eat our food even though you're a poor college kid.
Some punk: "Hey, can I have a fry?"
Me: *takes a bite out of each one*
9. 404 Error: Future Not Found
You know that moment when you got a few grades that weren't up to par, and you accepted the fact that you had no future, and are going to work in the fast food industry for the rest of your life? Yeah, this is that moment.
10. That's Due Tomorrow, Isn't It...
When you've successfully put up a mental block for an anxiety-provoking assignment until the night before it's due, and you're about to fall asleep and:
"It's due tomorrow, isn't it?"
11. Coming on too Strong
When you try to make new friends (especially as a freshman), sometimes you find that you've become Patrick as a chocolate bar salesman.
"I love you."
12. Toast...
Sometimes, you're this guy. You know what I'm talking about. Everyone's in a deep discussion about something in class, and you try to participate and you end up looking like toast guy. You're the only one who doesn't know what's going on.
Various other fish: "Ghost!"
This guy: "Toast."
13. Confidence Level= -4
This needs little explanation. Sometime college just gets you down. you try to play it cool, but you're really just kind of dying.
"I'm not always as confident as I look."
14. Procrastination Part Two
You make yourself feel better and more productive by getting arbitrary things done.
15. I'm Done Adulting!
You may remember this moment when, after spending an entire episode trying to convince everyone that he's an adult, bursts through his grandma's front door and proceeds to have a break down saying he wants to be a kid again. But isn't this really just a picture of each one of us when we open the door to our room?
16. Hey, a Free Gym!
So this is what a "gym" looks like.
Yeah...
17. "Hello, I like money."
By now you anticipate your relatives asking what you want for holidays, so you've just begun introducing yourself like Mr. Krabs does right here.
18. Interviews
Just one question: how do I look, sound, act, and breath professional?
19. Getting a Good Grade On a Paper
*makes battle cry, tongue noise*
20. Roommates
For those times when you get back to your room, and your roommate invited the entire western hemisphere over to chill.
21. The Abrasive Side
When you got an hour and 27 minutes of sleep last night:
22. "Aw, shucks."
You when your professor says they like your work.
Bonus: they say it in front of other people.
23. Finals Week.
Need I say more?
