SpongeBob SquarePants was the best show of my childhood.

This show shaped me into the sarcastic person with a dry sense of humor that I am today. Each episode held new nautical nonsense that entertained and made you happy as kid, but now that you're an adult, you can appreciate the genius of this series. The writers of this show showed us what real life was like, while keeping us entertained. I can't tell you how many times I've related something from SpongeBob to my adult life.

Here are 15 times SpongeBob taught us about how real adult life is.:

1. Season 1 Episode 5a - Pizza Delivery

As an adult, you have a job to do and you need to do it! (Even if you must ride a boulder to get there!)

2. Season 1 Episode 7a - Hall Monitor











Don't let power get to your head, you'll end up destroying the city.

3. Season 2 Episode 18a - Sailor Mouth


You probably shouldn't say, "Oh *dolphin noise*!" in a public place.

4. Season 3 Episode 7b - Can You Spare a Dime?











Two lessons can be learned from this episode. 1. Don't accuse someone of something you don't have proof of. 2. Don't take advantage of the hospitality of your friends.

5. Season 2 Episode 15b - Band Geeks











If we all work together, things might go a little easier.

6. Season 3 Episode 6b - One Krabs Trash









Don't lose yourself in fads! You don't want to end up stealing a rare, novelty drinking hat from Smitty Werben Man Jensen's grave just to make a quick buck. Also, remember to be aware of floating shopping lists. They're the real enemies.

7. Season 2 Episode 9a - Survival of the Idiots









Don't be like Dirty Dan and Pinhead Larry. Stealing will always be bad.

8. Season 2 Episode 31a - Mermaid Man and Branacle Boy III











Try to do the right thing even if it's frustrating! In the end, you'll be glad you did it!

9. Season 2 Episode 14b - Frankendoodle







Not all of your ideas will be good ones.

10. Season 2 Episode 16a - Graveyard Shift








Don't take out the trash at night. If this episode isn't motivation enough, I don't know what is.

11. Season 2 Episode 20a - Squid on Strike











Stand up for what you believe in!

12. Season 3 Episode 12a - Chocolate with Nuts











Entrepreneurship is great, but do it ethically. Don't deceive an old lady fish who is nothing but a dried up spine into buying a chocolate bar.

13. Season 3 Episode 16b - I Had an Accident

Don't let the world change how you live your life! You shouldn't live in your pineapple in fear.

14. Season 3 Episode 9b - Rock-a-Bye Bivalve











Help someone in need! Even if it's something as simple as giving someone a break from work instead of watching someone get hit in the head with a coconut on TV.

15. Season 3 Episode 17b - The Camping Episode











Take precauations and don't be a *dolphin noise* hole when people try to help you. Listen to those around you and maybe you won't get mauled by a metaphorical Sea-Bear and Sea-Rhinoceros.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
