In This Article:

Watching Spongebob episodes when I was younger at my Grandma's house was probably one of the most memorable experiences of my life so far. I remember eating breakfast at her house and sitting in front of the TV while eating cereal (My favorites include Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Cocoa Puffs) and eating chocolate chip or cinnamon pop tarts. To this day I love Spongebob and I can reference almost any episode and have a great laugh about it.

Here is why Spongebob Squarepants is still relatable while in my 20's:

1. Squidward Tentacles

He's literally the only adult in the show who takes responsibility, even when he doesn't want to be an adult.

2. Spongebob Squarepants

He's over-optimistic about everything.

3. Eugene Krabs

Mr. Krabs is super cheap and is super relatable to college students. Let's be honest we all know what Ramen noodle meal nights are like.

4. Patrick Star

We all look for that one person who is dumber than we are for a self-confidence boost.

5. Sandy Cheeks

Sandy knows too much of her science and because of this, she knows that she's a squirrel who lives underwater and goes outside her comfort zones to achieve her goals.

6. Plankton

A "friend" who discourages you and tries to steal your thunder about your accomplishments.

7. Gary the snail

We love our pets.

8. Larry the Lobster

The one friend you have some time in your life that flexes on your to try to make you jealous of something.

9. The Flying Dutchman

Another friend we have who is basically dead inside and still shows up to an event.


So I didn't do EVERY character from the show, but I did the main ones that I love. Spongebob will always be so relatable. #SpongebobForever.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
