Anyone who knows anything about me has probably noticed that I am an extreme Spongebob fan. Any chance I get to quote a line or sing a song from Spongebob, I do. And with 2018 at its start, I have been thinking a lot about what I can do to better myself. I have realized that one of the best things I can do is to stop being like Squidward, and to start being like Spongebob.
Here we have Squidward Tentacles. He is Spongebob's next-door neighbor, and he is also his co-worker at The Krusty Krab. Each episode usually consists of Squidward being mad about something that Spongebob does. Overall, he's definitely a negative character.
And then we have Spongebob Squarepants. He lives in the Pineapple right next to Squidward's home and tries to be a caring neighbor. He works at the Krusty Krab as a fry-cook, and is extremely positive about many aspects of his life.
1. Squidward gets annoyed very easily.
One of my goals this year is to not sweat the small stuff. I do not want to get annoyed at things that are out of my control. He often gets mad over little things that make others happy instead of just worrying about himself.
2. Squidward is not dynamic.
He plays his clarinet, goes to work, does some weird yoga/ballet/dancing thing, and yells at people. He is not dynamic in the slightest. He sticks to his routine and gets angry when someone interrupts it. New years are for trying new things, having fun, and for growing as a person.
3. He is a Negative Nelly.
In case you didn't catch on already, he's super negative. Leave the negativity in 2017.
4. Spongebob is caring, fun-loving, and optimistic.
Spongebob is always looking to have fun. He includes others, makes every event a good time, and tries to make everyone happy. 2018 should be a year of trying to be the light of your own life.
5. He's a hard worker.
Spongebob always seems to be working, and he loves his job. He works very hard and is extremely passionate about his craft. A goal of mine is to throw myself into my school work like Spongebob does.
6. He's ALWAYS ready.
Spongebob is always ready for anything. This year, I want to build myself up to be ready for anything that life throws at me. Managing stress and coping with things in a better way will always be my goal.
2018 is the year of Spongebob. It's time to change your life in a positive way. Check yourself, and make sure that you're not living like Squidward.
