Christmas Shopping When You're A Broke College Kid, As Told By 'SpongeBob Squarepants'

For anyone who doesn't know, 'SpongeBob Squarepants' is a cartoon-classic and I'm sure there are many who grew up loving him just as much as I did. Many would be surprised on how many memes from the show represent our everyday lives. Here's a hilariously relatable list of the process each broke college kid goes through undoubtedly every Christmas season, told by SpongeBob Squarepants himself.

1. We are READY 

Giphy

Yay! Gift giving is SO fun, I can't wait to give all of my loved ones the BEST gift this year!

2. Confusion

Giphy

My mom wanted a new coffee maker, but maybe that was my sister that mentioned she did. If I get one hoodie for my roommate, that means I need to get another hoodie for my OTHER roommate. I'm confused. I don't know what to get anyone.

3. Stalling...

Giphy

OK, so maybe there's more time to spare. I needed these boots for myself, anyway. I also totally have time for shopping, it's only the beginning of December...

4. Pre-present excitement

Giphy

That feeling you get when you think of the PERFECT Christmas gift.

5. Here come the water works.

Giphy

I forgot I'm a broke college student with $3.06 in my bank account. SOS

6. More time has passed, here comes the stress.

Giphy

Not only do I need money for presents, but everything is starting to sell-out in stores. HOW AM I GOING TO GET IT TOGETHER IN TIME?

7. The waiting game

Giphy

Now that I bought my presents, I will sit at my door like so and wait for the mail man to come!

8. Still... patiently... waiting...

Giphy

Tired of waiting, need to stay patient... help.

9. The angry shopper 

Giphy

After you receive the cheap-finds you found online. Too bad those cute hoodies are in youth sizes! To the return pile they go...

10. Gift wrapping 

Giphy

The gifts are here and you even bought the festive wrapping paper. Just have to get through gift wrapping and we're done!

11. No tape? Of course. 

Giphy

Why me?

12. Completion at last

Giphy

Gifts are bought, wrapped and under the tree. Until next year!

Love,

Broke College Student

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.
