Is it even really that good of a show?

Growing up, I was never allowed to watch SpongeBob because my parents didn't feel it was appropriate for young children. I never really minded it, it was the only show I wasn't allowed to watch so I just switched the channel whenever it came on Nickelodeon. But now that I am older, I almost feel like I missed out on a cultural phenomenon, something that is critical to my generation's sense of humor. But if you're like me and you never watched the TV show about the sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea, maybe you can relate to these as well:

1. I never watched the show but I understand the references??

Not only do I know all the characters, but I know they lyrics to the Goofy Goober Song and The Krusty Krab Pizza. I also know that the line "What are they selling? They're selling chocolate!" comes from Spongebob because I have grown up with people quoting the show all the time!

2. The memes are lost on me.

I don't find many SpongeBob-related gifs or memes funny because I don't really know what made them funny in the first place.

3. The utter astonishment that occurs when I tell people I didn't watch SpongeBob.

This has been going on since I was in the second grade and still happens today in college. People are just shocked!

4. The annoyance when you are left out of a conversation because of it.

People love Spongebob so much that they will recount every little detail possible about an episode. How does anyone remember all the episodes? Aren't there like 20 seasons at this point?

5. I realize how stupid of a show it is now.

There are people who continue to watch Spongebob even in adulthood. Now that I am older, I have watched a few episodes just to see what the fuss is about and honestly, I'm not sure. Maybe people still like it because it reminds them of a simpler time of childhood but I don't find it funny and entertaining and I'm ok with the fact that the show was not a part of my childhood.

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.
