Living Alone As Told By SpongeBob Squarepants

Living alone is amazing -- haven't you seen "SpongeBob?"

Living Alone As Told By SpongeBob Squarepants

I know SpongeBob has a pet snail, sorry, but I'm not counting Gary in this instance. The porous, yellow cartoon lives alone, and recently, so do I. We can relate! There are so many great things about living alone: choosing who you see and when, and especially what goes on in your house! SpongeBob has a funny way of explaining it.

1. No pants

Yup, that's right. No pants. Living alone means you have no one to impress, or better said, no reason to dress. Nothing better than coming home and taking those skinny jeans off, am I right?

2. Music/TV

With no one else's opinions getting in the way, you get to watch and listen to whatever you want! In my case, endless "Bravo" TV... or "Lemonade."

3. Less mess

If you are a decently neat person or prefer things clean, then you'll realize that living by yourself is a lot easier to keep up on cleaning then when a bunch of people are contributing to the mess.

4. More mess? Who cares!

If you're not a clean person or your place gets a little messy, the only one that can be bothered by it is you. Unless, of course, you have visitors... in that case, just clean it up.

5. You get to shop and cook for yourself

Although our diet probably isn't crabby patties like SpongeBob, it's amazing to have full freedom at the grocery store and in the kitchen.

6. Decor!

Clearly, we won't be as basic as a nautical sponge, but picking out home decor is so fun! Living alone means no compromising and agreeing on themes.

7. No makeup

This goes with the whole no pants deal. With no one to impress, you can wash that makeup off with no chance of seeing anyone in the near future.

8. No one to see you f*ck up

Whether you're tripping, burning yourself, dropping something or any other embarrassing things on the list we do daily, no one will be there to see!

9. Bathroom time

Having a bathroom to yourself is like a new world of amazingness. You can take time to pamper yourself, and no one complains about no hot water being left.

10. Your place, your rules

You wanna have the whole crew over? Who says you can't? Living alone doesn't mean you have to be alone all the time.

11. Quiet Time/You Time

For most people, it's a rare occurrence to live alone. Enjoy it! Read, get lots of sleep and spend time doing things you love to do.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
