Anxiety In College Told By Spongebob
Go Ennounce

Stress seems to kick in early in the semester (even during syllabus week). You can't remember what it was like to be on break and have limited responsibilities. Suddenly, you have a full class schedule, work, organizations, and somehow trying to have a social life. Oh yeah, and eating and sleeping need to happen too.

Luckily, there is one show that can always relate to your feelings of insanity from stress: "Spongebob." The characters from childhood seem to always knows what's up when it comes to feeling like the world is caving in. Good thing it prepared us as children so we knew what emotions we would feel in our 20s.

You start making a to-do list for the week...

And you try to do everything at once...

You kind of feel like your brain is bursting at the seams...

And you really haven't showered in a few days...

Or done your laundry...

But you pretend that everything is cool...

So you start stress eating...

You start to really contemplate your options in life...

You try not to cry in public...

And you really hope that you don't get any more assignments in class...

But of course your professor thinks that their class is the only thing important in your life...

So more stress eating happens...

People start to see a side of you that even you don't recognize...

6,309 thoughts keep running through your mind...

And people try to tell you to take deep breaths...

You pray that your professor cancels class that day...

And you have that friend that tries to cheer you up...

But really, you both just wallow in sadness about anything and everything...

All you really want to do is sleep...

But you look at your planner and realize everything you have to get done by tomorrow...

And you kind of feel like self-imploding...

You have that friend that thinks no one understands how stressed they are...

And they ask if you have any free time this week...

Your eyes start to burn from being awake for so long...

Eventually you hit the slap-happy phase...

You aren't really in control of your actions at this point...

And you have to remind yourself to get back into the game...

But you're still hungry...

Then you still realize how many things you have procrastinated...

But you finally get everything done and feel like...

Yeah, Spongebob knows what's up.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
