How "SpongeBob SquarePants" Prepared Me For College

"What I learned in (insert class here) is blankety blankity blank."

How "SpongeBob SquarePants" Prepared Me For College
Giphy

Throughout our childhood, various television shows taught us about different aspects of life. However, one stands out in particular. Here's a list of valuable lessons that our favorite beloved undersea sponge, unbeknownst to us at the time, implanted in our young minds to prepare us for higher education.


1. If you say something enough times, you'll start to believe it.

"I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready." Was he ready? Maybe he was. Are we ready? We're probably not, but give it a try. Yelling things over and over while you run and/or ride your unicycle is effective.


2. It's scary to think about the passage of time.

Sometimes, for your sanity, it's best to live in the moment.


3. Honestly, you're probably better off walking.

People drive like crazies sometimes. Play it safe.


4. This may not be the best time in your life to own a pet.

They're great, but being in a confined space all the time may lead to interesting results.


5. Sometimes, your computer just may be your best friend (and/or spouse).

"Oh, Karen, my computer wife!"


6. Was the night before good enough to justify the morning after? It probably was.

I'm just going to leave this here.


7. If you stay in the library too long, you might start having weird suspicions about those around you.

That guy's been there a long time. He hasn't even looked up. I don't think he's blinked in three hours.


8. People will try to tell you that there's no way that you can finish the assignment before it's due.

I beg to differ.


9. Not every guy can pull off facial hair.

There is no disputing this one.


10. When you're successful, sometimes everyone just has to know about it.

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.

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.

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.
