Everyone is excited for the first day of school. With new classes, new beginnings and new people to meet, how could you not be?! We all set new goals for the year, like trying to eat healthier or to procrastinate less, and this usually works at first. But as the year goes on, we become lazier and lazier. After about two-thirds of the year has passed, we all basically become broke, professional procrastinators who have met some of the best people we will ever know. A lot can happen in a year, and SpongeBob and his friends know exactly how to explain it:

1. Your roommate.

At the beginning of the year: When you tried to be cool when you met them:

Towards the end of the year: When you finally get comfortable around them and your insane side comes out:

2. Living in a dorm.

At the beginning of the year: When you were super excited to decorate your dorm room and live without adults:

Towards the end of the year: When your mom asks you how dorm life is and you realize that it's not as great as you imagined...

3. Going to class.

At the beginning of the year: When you would wake up early to make sure you didn't miss ANYTHING:

Towards the end of the year: When you got lazy and hit snooze three times before finally realizing class starts in 10 minutes, so you rolled out of bed and dragged yourself to class:

4. Eating breakfast.

At the beginning of the year: When you're trying to eat a healthy, fulfilling breakfast to make for a better day:

Towards the end of the year: When you resort to stuffing a donut (or any other food item you have in your backpack) in your mouth in one bite just to get to class on time:

5. Working out.

At the beginning of the year: When you take advantage of the campus gym:

Towards the end of the year: When you haven't worked out since December and try and start up again:

6. Your bank account.

At the beginning of the year: When your bank account is full after endless hours at your summer job:

6. Writing essays.

At the beginning of the year: Starting on an essay a week before it's due so you don't have to do it last minute:

Towards the end of the year: When it's 1 a.m. and your essay is due tomorrow so you add things that don't make sense just to sound smart and to meet the word count:

7. Meeting new people.

At the beginning of the year: Having to be normal in front of people because you don't know if they are as weird as you yet:

Towards the end of the year: Finally finding friends that are as weird as you:

Then at the very end of the year: When you have to leave your friends for the summer and realize that you guys have basically morphed into one person and you're going to miss them a ton:

And by the end of the year, you're back to your normal habits and ready to go through the whole routine over again for the next school year.
