6 'Hitchhiker's Guide' Quotes for the End of the Year

Everyone's brains are jumbled around finals. If you want a brain-jumbling book to read, I recommend "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." The quotes in this list may not make much sense, but don't panic. The book is kind of like that too.

1. When the days begin to blend together: "It must be Thursday. I never did get the hang of Thursdays" said Arthur Dent when he learns that the world will end. Arthur's had a rough day. His house is getting torn down for a new road... And so is Earth for basically the same thing.

2. When you have to fluff that paper "A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have" The towel is a useful and psychological item in the book. It can supposedly convince hosts that the hitchhiker has other toiletries and supplies that he simply "lost" and they'll supply out of kindness (dimwitted and misplaced sympathy). Maybe we can convince grades from professors the same way... Yes? No? Worth a shot.

3. When you want to just give up "Six pints of bitter. And quickly please, the world's about to end" All that homework. All that studying. Required extra events for sports, art, theater, music, etc. Drinks are needed (legally you rascals!) or the world might just implode on you.

4. When tension rises and people on the dorm floor yell for no good reason "There was a terrible ghastly noise" I always find that every semester, someone doesn't understand that 24/7 quiet hours means that they have to keep it down that whole time. Believe me hooligans that like screaming while I study, I will find you, and I will tell you to be quiet..... Then the R.A. shows up and they get written up anyway

5. When you realize you know you got three questions wrong and why "There was a terrible ghastly silence" We've been there. Certain things in life get specific silences: sudden, shocking things, things you know are coming, but still surprise you because they're so extreme.

6. When you're finally... FINALLY done "Don't Panic" The most important message of the book series. Don't Panic is the main idea of Htichhiker's as Douglas Adam's message to readers is the universe is random, unfair, and all the seemingly big stuff really isn't even anything to write home about. Physics breaking scientists meet, and the most exciting part is seeing a part boy who is president.

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.

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.

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.
