9 Life Lessons From The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

As if SpongeBob wasn't already one of the most iconic characters of our generation, in 2004 the beautiful minds who created this show decided to bless us with The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. This movie was filled with epic songs, great jokes, heart-wrenching moments, and moments that taught us a lot about life. Here are 9 life lessons from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie that are sure to guide you on your own journey to Shell City.

Always know ALL of your options

Plankton could have taken over Bikini Bottom SO much sooner if he had looked all the way through his filing cabinet. Don't be like Plankton, always be aware of every option. Your own Plan Z could just be sitting there, waiting for you to find it and take over the world.

Get you a friend like Patrick Star

He helped SpongeBob through the entire journey, and he wasn't directly affected by the Neptune situation at all. On top of that, he flew over a crowd of people wearing nothing but a banner with his best friend's name on it. Patrick is the original ride or die, and you deserve nothing less than a friend like him.

Be nice to your waiters

The Goofy Goober scene is hilarious, but I couldn't help but feel bad for the poor waiter. This scene reminds us to always be nice to your waiters - they put up with us at our worst (i.e. when we're ice cream drunk), so the least we can do is shown them the respect they deserve.

You don't have to be the strongest, you just have to be stronger than the weakest link

SpongeBob and Patrick didn't have to hold out until the Goofy Goober Theme Song was over, they just had to hold out until the other fish blew it and took the fall for the bubble party. As you can see, you don't always have to be the best of the bunch, you just have to be better than the worst.

Never tell what your next move is

Squidward blabbed that he was going to tell King Neptune about Plankton's plan, and look where it got him. The best way to execute your master plan is to keep it on the DL.

Don't let vanity distract you from real problems

Where was King Neptune during this whole ordeal? Oh yea, worrying about his bald spot instead of saving his kingdom. Don't let something silly like vanity distract you from real problems surrounding you.

Never underestimate the power of a good friendship, it just might save your life one day

The love of friendship is ultimately what saved SpongeBob and Patrick from the evil cyclops. If they hadn't shed a heart shaped tear in what we thought were their final moments together, it would have never run down to the outlet and turning on the sprinklers. At the end of the day, a moment of true friendship might just be what saves you.

Rock and Roll saves lives

All it took was some good rock music to break Plankton's mind control. It's amazing what music can do!

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't, because YOU CAN

Just because you're a knucklehead mcspazzatron doesn't mean you can't save Bikini Bottom. Don't ever let anyone underestimate you, because if your heart is in it you can do anything imaginable!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
