Because the world can never have too many cop shows.

FOX

Television today is littered with reality shows, dramatic soap operas, and everyday comedy. Procedural crime shows aren't much of a rarity anymore either. We've got the classics like CSI, Cold Case, NCIS, and Law and Order, but here are 10 more crime shows to put at the top of your to-watch list.

10. The Chicago Code

Detective Jareck Wysocki spends his days working to keep Chicago safe and his nights disappointing his fiancee. Working with his partner Caleb Evers and superintendent Teresa Colvin, Wysocki has to keep the corrupt Alderman Gibbons from letting crime run rampant in the Windy City.

9. Battle Creek

Two polar opposite detectives begrudgingly team up to keep Battle Creek, Michigan, safe -- even though the department is horribly underfunded and outdated. Detective Russ Agnew shows FBI agent Milt Chamberlain a completely different side of crime fighting.

8. Castle

Crime novelist Rick Castle finds out one of his novels has been imitated in real life and, after gaining permission from the mayor, he tags along with the NYPD to find the culprit. When all goes well with the investigation, he ends up helping Kate Beckett for eight seasons.

7. iZombie

Taking a slightly apocalyptic approach to crime, iZombie focuses on medical resident-turned-zombie Liv Moore (oh, the irony) and how she uses her zombie abilities to help the local police department solve murders around the city. But a zombie can't exist without an apocalypse, right?

6. Lie To Me

Dr. Cal Lightman has spent his life learning how to read body language and the smallest ticks and hints everyone unknowingly shows to determine whether or not someone is lying. He works with everyone from local law enforcement to government agencies to uncover the truth in case after case.

5. Criminal Minds

The FBI behavioral analysis unit works with local police in every corner of the United States. From kidnappings to torture to serial murders, the BAU analyzes some of the most heinous criminals fictional television has ever seen.

4. Drop Dead Diva

When aspiring model Deb Dobkins and attorney Jane Bingum die at the exact same moment, Deb's soul enters Jane's body. Deb-turned-Jane is left to learn how to live someone else's life and somehow figure out the US justice system. Just when things couldn't get harder, Deb-turned-Jane has to work alongside old-Deb's fiancee Grayson -- who thinks she's dead.

3. Sherlock

The classic stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are given a modern twist as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson take cases around London by the horns and send law enforcement into a rage every time. Cell phones and the internet really do have a drastic impact on the outcome.

2. Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Jake Peralta is a bit of a mess, but even when he's not entirely sure what's going on, he manages to be one of the best police officers in New York. The rest of Brooklyn's 99th precinct rounds out a motley crew of cops who are unexpectedly good at their jobs. Hilarity ensues. Bonus: the racial and gender inclusion is wonderful.

1. Psych

Behold, the greatest crime show in history. Shawn Spencer learned observation and deduction at a young age from his police detective father, but the Santa Barbara police department now knows him as a (fake) psychic detective. With his best friend Burton Guster -- aka Gus -- Shawn brings eight seasons of comedy to the SBPD.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
