“Spongebob Squarepants” is a true icon when it comes to cartoons. As the generation who grew up in the golden era of “Spongebob”, we all probably related to the characters at one point or another. Maybe we still do, because like college majors, each character has a unique trait that makes them Squidward, Plankton, Gary, or even Spongebob himself. So find out which character matches your major, and see just how accurate it may be.
1. Culinary Arts = Patrick Star
Patrick doesn’t kid around when it comes to food, and neither do Culinary Arts majors. But because they’re truly passionate about their fine taste, it makes perfect sense.
2. Arts (Visual/Performing) = Squidward
Despite critics always trying to push Squidward down, he never gives up on his dreams. Students majoring in the arts know how to block haters and how important it is to spread their art.
3. Engineering = Plankton
Plankton is very smart when it comes to technology, and he has a knack for finding new solutions for his goals. Even if he keeps failing, he’s extremely persistent, just like Engineering majors.
4. Computer Science = Karen
Well, it makes sense because she’s a computer, but Computer Science majors can be underappreciated at times. But Karen is always there when you need her and finds a solution when things go astray.

Finance and Accounting majors are good at saving and managing their money, so Mr. Krabs fits the bill. He’s also reliable and dedicated to his job, so you can always count on him.

Sandy Cheeks fits really any science major; she’s smart, passionate about new discoveries and sticks with her gut even when others don’t believe her. She also cares a lot about her friends and humanity for that matter.

Larry is a true icon when it comes to fitness, so no wonder he’s an Exercise and Sport Science Major. He’s also very encouraging and good with people.
