Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

As much as you may want to deny it, you all know what comes next.. Spongebob Squarepants!

To some it may not make any sense, they don't understand this sponge of a guy simply because they don't want to. To others, Spongebob was and still is to this day, one of their favorite cartoons. Why is it that this yellow sponge has left such an impact over the years?

1. Spongebob has the attitude that everyone should have.

I mean no matter what, he's always ready! Episode after episode you see trials and hardships but he never fails to stay positive..

How many of us could honestly say we would have those reactions?


2. He has impeccable work ethic.

I can only hope to one day love my job as much as Spongebob loves his.


3. He does not limit himself in any way, shape, or form. There is nothing he won't try to do!


4. His words are deeper than the ocean itself..


5. His wide range of facial expressions are nothing short of impressive..

..and those are just a select few.


BONUS: He just makes you happy!


As a kid, Spongebob was my favorite. As an adult, Spongebob is still my favorite. Anytime I'm having a bad day and just need some pure, innocent, joy: Spongebob is where I turn.

Growing up I had several friends who weren't allowed to watch Spongebob. Although, I've always believed it was more for the parents sake of not being able to stand the sponge guy rather than the show not being appropriate for children.

Kid's shows today are progressively getting as basic and cheesy as they possibly can. Spongebob may not teach your kid how to read or write but isn't that what school is for? I would much rather encourage my kids to watch a show that teaches about character, while is also enjoyable to me as well!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
