Its been 16 years since the first season of "SpongeBob SquarePants" aired on television, and other than a decline in the show's quality, it still holds strong for those that grew up with it. Each SpongeBob episode was as memorable as the last with several moments in the show that will stand the tests of times. Although it is unlikely that someone can relate to a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea, there are certain instances when that sponge, and his friends, could perfectly describe some of the moments in your life.

I have collected 10 quotes that most people will be able to relate to at least one point in their life:

1. Trying to explain your thoughts to people.

"The inner mechanisms of my mind are an enigma"

2. Having to work retail for your summer job.

"Here, please hit me as hard as you can"

3. Having to deal stupid people.

Sandy: "Don't you have to be stupid somewhere else?"
Patrick: "Not until 4"

4. Being confident in your flaws.

"I'm ugly and I'm proud"

5. Being a little too confident.

"You've reached the house of unrecognized talent."

6. Getting ready to go out.

SpongeBob: "Patrick, are you ready to party tonight?"
Patrick: "I'm ready to party!"
SpongeBob: "Are you ready to get crazy?!"
Patrick: "I'm already hearing voices!"

7. Having to wake up for class.

Nah, I don't really feel like it"

8. Being embarrassed by your friends.

Billy: "Those guys are dorks"
Flying Dutchman: "Yes, but they're my dorks"

9. Setting your career goals high.

"Or a football playing king in space, with a mustache."

10. Working out too hard.

"Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep."
