If you think about it, children's favorite cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants" resonates with the typical college student. From move-in day to finals week, there are episodes, particularly the titles, that truly define the mood we have during college.

Here are a few episodes that any "SpongeBob" fanatic could relate to college experiences:

1. Move-in day.

Season 2, Episode 26b: "Squidville"

Moving into your dorms? Every building near your residence hall? Welcome to Squidville.

2. Noticing how many students on campus are different from you.

Season 1, Episode 10a: "Culture Shock"

Not exactly similar to the episode itself, but the title is pretty convincing. It's normal to develop cultural awareness during freshman year.

3. When you aren't sure of who you are yet.

Season 3, Episode 58a: "Missing Identity"

It's normal. Most people don't figure themselves out until senior year... if then even.

4. When you survive Sylly Week.

Season 1, Episode 7b: "Jellyfish Jam"

Watch the video below to give you the idea. Sylly week parties are the way to go.

5. "F is for friends who do stuff together..."

Season 1, Episode 10b: "F.U.N."

You've finally made your circle. Hanging with your friends in college is the dream. No responsibilities.

6. When you're too lazy to go to classes.

Season 6, Episode 114b: "Ditchin'"

It's bound to happen.

7. When you face the Freshman 15.

Season 3, Episode 43a: "Just One Bite"

Campus food will get you 'thicc'.... or in my case, very.

8. When you haven't studied at all for your tests.

Season 2, Episode 37a: "Procrastination"

A typical college student trait.

9. When you catch the college plague.

Season 1, Episode 15b: "Suds"

Flu season hits, and you're exposed to the plague. That's bad.

10. When you don't have any money.

Season 3, Episode 47b: "Can You Spare a Dime?"

You're broke. What do you ask?

11. College jobs galore.

Season 1, Episode 1a: "Help Wanted"

There's always a job to find on or off-campus.

12. Your grades are slipping.

Season 1, Episode 17b: "Rock Bottom"

At one point or another in their college career, every student hits it.

12. You've reached the next semester.

Season 3, Episode 54: "Ugh."

Yep.

13. When you're on academic probation.

Season 3, Episode 45b: "Doing Time"

Get your grades together, kid.

14. Going to the gym only once in the semester.

Season 1, Episode 11a: "MuscleBob BuffPants'

You finally hit the gym and you feel accomplished.

15. Your spring break.

Season 2, Episode 27a: "Prehibernation Week"

Your break before your summer break.

16. Finals.

Season 3, Episode 54: "Ugh."

Yeah. Ugh, again.

17. Move-out day.

Season 4, Episode 80a: "Best Day Ever"

Finally.

18. How do you feel after freshman year?

Season 6, Episode 104a: "Not Normal"

Not at all.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.
