In This Article:

For anyone who doesn't know, 'SpongeBob Squarepants' is a cartoon-classic and I'm sure there are many who grew up loving him just as much as I did. Many would be surprised on how many memes from the show represent our everyday lives. Here's a hilariously relatable list of the process each broke college kid goes through undoubtedly every Christmas season, told by SpongeBob Squarepants himself.

1. We are READY 

Giphy

Yay! Gift giving is SO fun, I can't wait to give all of my loved ones the BEST gift this year!

2. Confusion

Giphy

My mom wanted a new coffee maker, but maybe that was my sister that mentioned she did. If I get one hoodie for my roommate, that means I need to get another hoodie for my OTHER roommate. I'm confused. I don't know what to get anyone.

3. Stalling...

Giphy

OK, so maybe there's more time to spare. I needed these boots for myself, anyway. I also totally have time for shopping, it's only the beginning of December...

4. Pre-present excitement

Giphy

That feeling you get when you think of the PERFECT Christmas gift.

5. Here come the water works.

Giphy

I forgot I'm a broke college student with $3.06 in my bank account. SOS

6. More time has passed, here comes the stress.

Giphy

Not only do I need money for presents, but everything is starting to sell-out in stores. HOW AM I GOING TO GET IT TOGETHER IN TIME?

7. The waiting game

Giphy

Now that I bought my presents, I will sit at my door like so and wait for the mail man to come!

8. Still... patiently... waiting...

Giphy

Tired of waiting, need to stay patient... help.

9. The angry shopper 

Giphy

After you receive the cheap-finds you found online. Too bad those cute hoodies are in youth sizes! To the return pile they go...

10. Gift wrapping 

Giphy

The gifts are here and you even bought the festive wrapping paper. Just have to get through gift wrapping and we're done!

11. No tape? Of course. 

Giphy

Why me?

12. Completion at last

Giphy

Gifts are bought, wrapped and under the tree. Until next year!

Love,

Broke College Student

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
