Thoughts Of An Incoming College Freshman As Told By Spongebob Squarepants

Being an incoming college freshman is a lot like starting at the bottom of the food-chain. We have very little direction and we basically run around like chickens with our heads cut off. Being a cartoon lover, I realized Spongebob had some pretty relateable scenarios. Hopefully, we'll swim to the top.

The feelings of being "fresh meat" again:

Trying to battle the freshman 15 before you're actually a freshman like:

And let's be real. Your attempts aren't working.

What will actually happen:

What you feel like after purchasing the biggest meal plan:

Coping with adulthood is going to take a whole lot of Krabby Patties.

Actually eating the cafeteria food when you go to orientation:

Who signed me up for this. Where are the home-cooked meals?

Seriously. Everyone at my orientation was so attractive. Please be my friend?

Trying to shop for outfits for Formal Recruitment:

Confused. Lost in Dillard's. Online shopping. The equivilent to like blurred Mr. Krabbs.


When you finally find the perfect outfit:

Or at least you think it is the perfect outfit. Maybe it's not? Am I overthinking this? Is this even cute? I need a coffee.

What you think your college looks like after the first tuition fee:

Student loans. In the name of Mr. Krabs: MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!

Trying to make your own headboard:

Feeling more confused than Sandy Cheeks not loving Texas. Which is very confused

When you remember that all of your high school friends are going to different colleges:

Where is the tissue box?


When your adviser tells you your only option for a required class is an 8 a.m.:

How did the "Pineapple Under the Sea" ever survive without a coffee-maker?

Spending all of your graduation money on college gear:

My bank account is already suffering and I'm not even there yet.

When you realize you're leaving your pets soon:

Actually the worst part. I cry just thinking about it.

THE EXCITEMENT IS REAL!

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.

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?

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.
