7 years ago

Honestly, if you haven't heard of SpongeBob by now, you've probably been living under a rock with Patrick Star :)
Anyway, while the rest of you might've just seen it as a good laugh, I LOVED SpongeBob Squarepants. It was my favorite show as a kid. And before I explain why, NO, it wasn't modern season SpongeBob. I admit that the show has gone downhill since, but the original episodes were cartoon gold. I mean, what's there even to say about it that hasn't been said? It's a show about SpongeBob the sponge, who loves jellyfishing, Krabby Patties, karate, working, boating school, and annoying Squidward!
Honestly, what I liked most about the show was the interesting characters and the comedy of it. Character-wise, there's a large variety of personalities in SpongeBob, if you really think about it. You have an optimistic sponge, a dumb, lazy starfish, a greedy crab, a talented squirrel, an evil plankton, and a pessimistic squid, who is the exact opposite of SpongeBob. You might just tell someone based off of this that the creators of this show must've quit school at kindergarten, but it really is an interesting thing to see on TV, to put some of them in a scenario, and see how things just play out, (take for example, S3 E12 Chocolate with Nuts, when SpongeBob and Patrick try to get rich from selling chocolate bars to people, after getting the idea for it from looking at Squidward's fancy magazine in his mail)
Comedy wise, the writers for this are hilarious. These jokes are really well timed, and the way they are executed are perfect. In fact, Patrick Star is the most hilarious cartoon character I've ever seen in my life! S3E12, Chocolate with Nuts, for example, the crazy chocolate guy has been following SpongeBob and Patrick around all day, constantly screaming "CHOCOLATE" like a crazy person, only to finally approach them and nicely ask to buy all of their chocolate. (I really recommend the episode, especially since it doesn't seem funny when just explaining the joke in this post, so find it on Youtube or something. It's my favorite episode!)
Anyway, this post is long enough, so I'll wrap this up by saying that this show was my life when I was little, so it was just a nice little stroll down memory lane.

Enjoy some SpongeBob quotes :)

10 Years From Now...

Now, before I start doing this assignment, if you have to do this also, and you happen to be in 8th grade (just like me), don't go writing about any sort of serious jobs unless you're determined you'll get it in 10 years. Logically, by that time, you might be in your final year of college, so think about that and give yourself a bit of a reality check.
(I bring no offense to anyone who wrote about having a great job 10 years later. Good for you!)

So if I had to see myself in 10 years from now, I would definitely, for starters, be in college trying to earn a Master's Degree in any sort of subject having to do with engineering. I want to be an engineer when I become an adult. More specifically, a mechanical engineer (or a structural engineer as backup). Either way, I would mainly look forward to a job of designing and building buildings, monuments, and, as crazy as it sounds, roller coasters. They all fall under the same categories of engineering, so that would be what I like to do when I grow up, not to mention that engineers do make a good amount of money.
So, I'd be in college, ready to graduate in a year, and to move on to my life as an engineer. I'd hope that I'd have a lot of friends, still keep up good grades, get a driver's license to be able to go places efficiently, and also do good in the musical side of my life (for those who don't know, I'm musically [not the app] gifted, and NO, I'm not bragging).

That was the long and short of where I wish I was in 10 years.
