Growing up, I religiously watched the children's Nickelodeon show, Spongebob Squarepants. As of now, I still watch it with my family and literally laugh at the stupidity and hilariousness of it. I adore the older episodes and truly see where my sense of humor has grown from. It's kind of crazy how such a ridiculously stupid, yet hilarious show, has made such an impact on my and others sense of adulthood. Since most of us now young adults have watched the questionable kids shows, I feel it's made huge impacts on us as adulting individuals. Here's 15 points within the kid's television show that depict an accurate picture of young adults in college.
1) All of us are slowly becoming Squidwards, if we haven't already.
We love the comfort of home and are pretty pessimistic.
We would rather stay at home and be in comfort, than go outside and meet new people.
And, of course, the future is a terrifying and anxiety ridden concept that we like to avoid thinking about.
2) We have the appetite of Patrick.
Our episodes of binge eating are far too real to even rationalize.
Who doesn't love pizza, cereal, and then ice cream, all in one sitting?
3) We may have taken Spongebob's life lessons a little too seriously.
We've accepted the reality of our appearances.
We think about our identities and question our existence too much.
Maybe we all need our identities stolen so we can figure ourselves out...
4) Spongebob's experience with boating school is our depiction of college struggles.
When you're in the midst of studying, you DUMP EVERYTHING so you can retain.
That fear when we receive the exam and our mind goes blank. (I swear I studied.)
When you're writing a paper last minute.
That moment when your hand cramps during the essay portion of the exam.
You've lost all hope.
5) Our maturity levels coincide with the show too much..
Because what's funnier than 24? 25...
6) Our negativity is too similar to Spongebob's sense of failure.
"That statistics exam. SOILED IT."
*College tears*
7) We're all money hungry like Mr. Krabs.
8) Yet, we all ended up here.
Broke.
9) We all have entirely too much to do and not enough time to sleep.
We could literally sleep forever.
Once you're sound asleep, you realize you forgot to do that paper.
2 1/2 hours later...
Oh... and you are scheduled to work later.
10) The Narrator Time Cards are our life in reference to time.
*DEGREES FOR EVERYONE*
And the professor is still talking...
12) Clearly, we use their dance moves in the clubs and parties.
13) That episode where Spongebob basically had anxiety
14) Trying out new beauty trends and hacks
What were we thinking??
15) The many years of college
Freshmen
You're all ready and excited for college.
Sophomore
Sophomore year is basically nothing. What even goes on...
Junior
The struggle is too real...
Senior
WE FINALLY GOT AN AWARD!
