Adulthood As Told by Squidward Tentacles

When You Realize Maybe His Pessimism Wasn't So Unwarranted

Adulthood As Told by Squidward Tentacles

The Nickelodeon show "Spongebob" has rightfully earned its place in pop culture, easily recognizable by children and adults alike. The character of Spongebob, none other than the protagonist obviously, has earned his place in our hearts as the bubbly Sponge who won't take no for an answer and is always trying to seek the next adventure. However, his fellow character Squidward has earned a rep as a pessimist who wants nothing more than to be left alone, especially by Spongebob. As we get older though, are Squidward's observations of life really so unrelatable and inaccurate, though? Below are some examples of Squidward just saying what is on his mind.

I feel like we have all been hit by that bout of guilt for watching Netflix for hours on end instead of getting our lives together.

Whether it is sleep deprivation, or simply wishing that we could put off our responsibilities, sometimes we get those headaches that even an iced coffee and Advil can't cure.

An aspect of adulthood can also be the pressure to find and keep a significant other, especially if you feel like everywhere you turn you see couples. Squidward was just letting us know in advance that Valentines' Day can also double as Single Awareness day.

This one needs no explanation. Whether it's the commute to school or work, all-nighters where you're up studying, or one too much "Game of Thrones" sometimes adulthood means accepting exhaustion as a regular state.

When we finally do get a break from the chaos that can be life, our big plans include a warm shower and sleeping for 12 hours straight. Squidward was definitely right on the sleeping front.

However, Mr. Tentacles isn't all doom and gloom. Like we all hopefully do, he recognizes that he is quite the special gem even in the midst of being the pessisimist that adulthood occasionally turns us all into.

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.
