5 Doctor Who Quotes I Chose To Live My Life By
MIT

The Doctor has said some pretty wise words over the years. Here are a few quotes from the reboot of "Doctor Who" that I like to live by.

1. "Don’t Blink." –Tenth Doctor

The full quote is a little more gruesome than what I intend, but life goes by so fast, if you blink you miss some of the most beautiful things in life.You miss the little things, like when your loved one smiles ear to ear for just the briefest second because a moment of bliss overwhelmed him/her.

2. “In 900 years of time and space, I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important” - Eleventh Doctor

You may feel small or unimportant, but know that, to someone out there, you are important. You may be their everything, their light in the day, or their saving grace. You are important, beautiful, and wonderful in your own unique way. Don’t let anyone dim your brilliance.

3. “This is who I am, right here, right now, all right? All that counts is here and now, and this is me!” - Ninth Doctor

Stay true to who you are and what you are. No one can change you unless you want to change. Your morals are most important to you and people should understand and respect that. If they don’t? Send them out to the rubbish and tell them to stay out just like bread and butter.

4. “The universe is big. It’s vast and complicated and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles” - Eleventh Doctor

Things happen and we do not know why, but that is okay. We can learn to roll with the punches and get over whatever is thrown our way. A bump in the road could lead us to the most amazing thing or experience in our life. Accept the unexpected and live with happy little miracles.

5. Get a Catchphrase!

Every regeneration had one, so you should too! Whether you are saving the world or just tackling an assignment worth 50% of your grade, catchphrases are motivational and instill confidence. Grab yourself a personal catchphrase and take on life!

You can find motivation and peace around any corner; I just found mine in a British television series. Carry on my fellow Whovians, wanderers and friends!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
