Why Gibby Is My Spirit Animal (And Should Be Yours, Too)

The kid we all grew to love in the show, iCarly

Why Gibby Is My Spirit Animal (And Should Be Yours, Too)

Throwback to the days when we were younger and many of us were huge fans of the show, iCarly. There was always that one character in particular that everyone would question, but everyone loved. Even Michelle Obama is on #TeamGibby.

He has his own catchphrase

Whenever he walks into the room and realizes he has done something right, he always proceeds to say, “Gibbaay!” Apparently, the pronunciation is Gibbehhhh. But, this catchphrase is much more drawn out and very much said better by the man himself, The Gibster. It becomes a welcome to him later that everyone yells at him. GIBBAAY!


His little brother is exactly like him

His little brother, Guppy, is the spitting image of Gibby. He says the cutest things as well, such as, “I love cheese,” and “Happy Birthday!” To the average joe these phrases seem normal and everyday. But in the show, Guppy’s sayings are cuter than a large pack of puppy corgis. If that isn't a good enough comparison, I don't know what is.


He is in a long-term relationship

Of all people, Gibby has been in a relationship since 2009. As tweens we were all jealous of his relationship. If a way to a girl’s heart is a jacket with the zipper pulled down to show a little chest and a little leave-in conditioner, he’s doing it right. Even after she is caught falling on top of Freddie, he still gives her another chance. And he thinks he’s a player as well. Sam asks Gibby to the Girl’s Choice Dance, and he says, “Nah, I’m good.” Man Gibby, you have some serious game. He’s even as romantic enough to send Tasha a video message when he misses her and then walks Tasha to her car. Guys, start taking notes.


His singing voice is special

He’s so good he almost got Harry Styles kicked out of One Direction. Also, he set the mood when Sam and Freddie were kissing by singing, Loving You is My Favorite Thing To Do. Someone get this man a Grammy.


No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service

No shirt doesn’t apply to Gibby. Apparently in Season 4, there is only one episode he takes his shirt off. Every other season though, does he really ever have a shirt on? But the real question is, why does he always take his shirt off? No one really knows. Gibby treats us a great lesson on self-confidence.

Strange things make Gibby sad.

Some of these things include macaroni without cheese, power tools and bread crumbs. Why?


A side of Gibby comes with a lot of nicknames

Some of these are Gibby, Giblets, The Gibster, Gibbles, and so many more. If only we could have that many nicknames, that we respond to.


Gibby doesn’t care about his haters

He doesn’t care about what people think. Whether he is rubbing up against fat cakes, taking videos of his cat, or rocking the tin foil pants, the only thing he cares about is that his mom thinks he is awesome.


In the end, puberty treated Gibby the best out of anyone

If only we all didn’t tease Gibby so much in the past. In the puberty awards, the most improved goes to Gibby.


So thank you, Gibby, for all the shirtless dancing and hours of laughter you have provided to us over the years.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
