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

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
