Everyone watched Spongebob as a child, let's be honest. And everyone was very fond of the plucky yellow sponge that lived in a pineapple under the sea. Spongebob is one of the most memorable cartoons of all time, and it is also one of the most quotable cartoons of all time. For my fellow college students out there, it's almost finals week, and that means the longest week of your life. But Spongebob always has helpful words, so he will tell of the process of the worst week of the year for college kids.
1. I'm Ready!
The beginning of the week when you're super ready to get it going. Little do you know what lies ahead of you in the next several days. But nothing can break your spirit!
2. I wumbo, you wumbo, he-she-me wumbo.
You know that question on the exam that you have no idea about? This is the thought process of trying to convince yourself that you know what you're doing but you really don't.
3. Holographic Meatloaf? My Favorite!
After a long day, you just want a nice dinner for a reward after you just aced that exam. And then you're forced to hype yourself up for cafeteria food.
4. "Oh well! I guess I'm not wearing any pants today."
And as the week goes on, you have complete disregard for what was your social life. Wearing the same pair of sweatpants three days in a row is totally acceptable.
5. "A five letter word for happiness...money."
It's the end of the semester and you're flat broke, having to make it to the end off of Ramen noodles and snack machines. This is when you wish you hadn't spent so much having fun.
6. "Can't have dirty garbage."
When you know you should be studying for your next exam but you're trying to find something, anything, to help you procrastinate as long as possible.
7. "SOAP, SOAP, WHAT IS SOAP?"
So it is completely normal to not shower during finals week right? Absolutely. Don't feel good about it, but it is very okay to not take a shower for seven days. Because I promise you that you aren't the only one.
8. "Squidward, I used your clarinet to unclog my toilet!"
Your brain can hardly function at this point. Anything can do anything and your improvisation skills are improving by the day. It might be your roommate's stuff, but they will probably get over it since they are most likely in the same mental state as you are.
9. "I'm ugly and I'm proud!"
It's the end of the week. Your finals week is over. Your life is in shambles. And there is that moment when you look in the mirror, swallow your pride, and say, "I'm a mess."
10. "Can you give Spongebob his brain back? I had to borrow it for the week."
Chances are that you look like the above picture of Spongebob by the end of the week. You know what? That is okay. That is A-okay because you made it through with your academic life intact. You might be on the brink of insanity now, but it's fine. A long break is exactly what you need and what you deserve, as well.
