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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
