Getting older is a hell of a thing; pop culture seems weird to you, everything changes at a faster rate than you can handle, and those kids won't get off your lawn.
Even worse, you start to compare yourself to other people, especially what TV shows seem to think your life should be like by now. In particular, these 10 characters are going to make you go "where did all that time go?!"

It's a sad day in the world of cartoons, as Nickelodeon has confirmed the passing of SpongeBob SquarePants creator Steven Hillenburg. The iconic TV show writer and producer with a long career and a hand in creating a lot of our favorite moments in animation.
