Anxiety In College Told By Spongebob
Go Ennounce

Stress seems to kick in early in the semester (even during syllabus week). You can't remember what it was like to be on break and have limited responsibilities. Suddenly, you have a full class schedule, work, organizations, and somehow trying to have a social life. Oh yeah, and eating and sleeping need to happen too.

Luckily, there is one show that can always relate to your feelings of insanity from stress: "Spongebob." The characters from childhood seem to always knows what's up when it comes to feeling like the world is caving in. Good thing it prepared us as children so we knew what emotions we would feel in our 20s.

You start making a to-do list for the week...

And you try to do everything at once...

You kind of feel like your brain is bursting at the seams...

And you really haven't showered in a few days...

Or done your laundry...

But you pretend that everything is cool...

So you start stress eating...

You start to really contemplate your options in life...

You try not to cry in public...

And you really hope that you don't get any more assignments in class...

But of course your professor thinks that their class is the only thing important in your life...

So more stress eating happens...

People start to see a side of you that even you don't recognize...

6,309 thoughts keep running through your mind...

And people try to tell you to take deep breaths...

You pray that your professor cancels class that day...

And you have that friend that tries to cheer you up...

But really, you both just wallow in sadness about anything and everything...

All you really want to do is sleep...

But you look at your planner and realize everything you have to get done by tomorrow...

And you kind of feel like self-imploding...

You have that friend that thinks no one understands how stressed they are...

And they ask if you have any free time this week...

Your eyes start to burn from being awake for so long...

Eventually you hit the slap-happy phase...

You aren't really in control of your actions at this point...

And you have to remind yourself to get back into the game...

But you're still hungry...

Then you still realize how many things you have procrastinated...

But you finally get everything done and feel like...

Yeah, Spongebob knows what's up.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
