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!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
