Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

As much as you may want to deny it, you all know what comes next.. Spongebob Squarepants!

To some it may not make any sense, they don't understand this sponge of a guy simply because they don't want to. To others, Spongebob was and still is to this day, one of their favorite cartoons. Why is it that this yellow sponge has left such an impact over the years?

1. Spongebob has the attitude that everyone should have.

I mean no matter what, he's always ready! Episode after episode you see trials and hardships but he never fails to stay positive..

How many of us could honestly say we would have those reactions?


2. He has impeccable work ethic.

I can only hope to one day love my job as much as Spongebob loves his.


3. He does not limit himself in any way, shape, or form. There is nothing he won't try to do!


4. His words are deeper than the ocean itself..


5. His wide range of facial expressions are nothing short of impressive..

..and those are just a select few.


BONUS: He just makes you happy!


As a kid, Spongebob was my favorite. As an adult, Spongebob is still my favorite. Anytime I'm having a bad day and just need some pure, innocent, joy: Spongebob is where I turn.

Growing up I had several friends who weren't allowed to watch Spongebob. Although, I've always believed it was more for the parents sake of not being able to stand the sponge guy rather than the show not being appropriate for children.

Kid's shows today are progressively getting as basic and cheesy as they possibly can. Spongebob may not teach your kid how to read or write but isn't that what school is for? I would much rather encourage my kids to watch a show that teaches about character, while is also enjoyable to me as well!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
