Why Squidward Is Our Spirit Animal

Sometimes we just hate the world.

Why Squidward Is Our Spirit Animal

Growing up, most of us watched Spongebob Squarepants on Nickelodeon. If you didn't watch the show yourself, I'm sure you've heard of it. Like any series, we all had our favorites. Whether it was carefree and unique Spongebob, always confused Patrick, tough as nails Sandy, stingy Mr. Krabs, or even cute and somehow sarcastic without saying a word Gary, we all rooted for who we liked the best. While Squidward may have not been a favorite character among our younger selves, I think that it is pretty safe to say he is now our spirit animal. Sarcastic, stuck in a job he doesn't like, wishing for a better life, and hating the world--Squidward's life is familiar to many of us. Don't believe me? I'll prove it to you.


1. We all strive for perfection.

Whether it is on a class project, at work, or in life in general, we all strive for perfection in our lives even when it is not necessary.

2. We lose our patience quickly.

Sometimes people annoy us, especially on the days when nothing seems to be going right for us.

3. We're tired of people trying to set us up with others.

Family members, friends, they all do it.

4. We're always tired.

No matter how much sleep we get, it never seems to be enough.

5. We sometimes embarrass ourselves, and others, with our dance moves.

We may think we're cool, but we're not.

6. We question why we do things.

We make quick decisions that we soon regret. We go to events that sound more fun on paper than in person.

7. We love sleep.

Those naps we skipped in kindergarten? Yeah, we'll take those now. Sleeping is a great way to ignore all of our responsibilities.

8. We lose our minds sometimes.

School, work, a social life--who has time for it all? Sometimes we drive ourselves insane just from thinking about all of the stress we will soon face.

9. We may have trouble being on time every once in a while.

Sometimes life just gets in the way. At least we tried, right?

10. We cringe when we think about the future.

It's difficult enough to think about the present.

11. We care a lot about our work.

Art, writing, science projects--whatever we create, we love it like it's our child, critics beware.

12. Sometimes it seems like we're going nowhere.

Our everyday life just does not seem to be going up the way that we want it to.

13. We like money.

Money makes the world go round, or at least it buys food.

14. Most importantly, sometimes we are angry with the world and just want to be alone.

Sometimes, life sucks. People suck. Being alone seems like the best option.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
