It's bound to happen. Whether you're in high school, in college, or at work. Whether you think you have your shit together or not. Many people go through a mental breakdown at some point. But do you want a positive way to look at it? Through Spongebob. Everything is relatable through Spongebob. So without further ado, here are the stages of a college breakdown as told by Spongebob Squarepants:

1. Starting off your day with good intentions.

Most days, I try to start with a positive attitude. Even if I have a 9am, I'm not going to ruin my day with negative thoughts so early in the morning.

2. Going to class, also with good intentions.

I sit down in the front of the classroom and prepare for the lecture that's about to begin. This is usually about the time when things start going south.

3. Your mind starts to wander.

Biology at 9am? I'm going to think about how my life will look in ten years while simultaneously trying to remember what I ate for dinner on October 27th, 2007.

4. Class is over!


Class is done for the day, and you think it's finally time to live life! But instead, it's actually time to do homework...

5. You try to do work, but make no progress.

This happens to me everyday. I decide to work while I'm already in the groove after class, but I end up accomplishing absolutely nothing.

6. You take a break to do something else that is semi-productive.

This is usually the time when I try to do something other than homework that still feels productive. Maybe I'll do my makeup or clean my room. HA...never mind. I never clean my room!

7. Now...the actual procrastination starts. You think about everything except homework.

The mind wanders again...

Maybe I'll learn ten new ways to tie my shoe.

8. Okay. It's 6pm. Time to crack down.

And I realize that I have much more work than I thought I did.

9. Time to rush to get it done.

IT'S NINE O'CLOCK AND I AM NOT EVEN HALFWAY DONE!

10. Your stress levels are so high that you become delusional.

Actual footage of me after six hours of homework, realizing that it is midnight and I still have more to do.

11. Aaaaannnnnnnnnddddd the panic attack happens.

After the stress has been building inside of you for hours, it finally comes out at once.

12. You pick yourself back up and act like nothing happened.

Friends make everything better, especially roommates. So I usually apologize to my friends for forcing them to witness my insanity, and then we order a pizza.

There you have it. In all of its glory. A standard college freakout, as told by Spongebob Squarepants. They can happen in many different ways, and at any given time.

However, the important thing to realize is that you can always bounce back. Sometimes, you just need to let it all out.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
