11 Signs You're A Criminal Justice Major

Criminal Justice is one of the most underrated majors out there. We never make it to the list of top majors, but that's okay because we don't want everyone to know the secret of how awesome we all are. Yes we all tough human beings who want to make a difference in this world by devoting our lives to fighting crime in some way, shape, or form. Though not popular, we are a pretty great little major.

1. Every crime show on TV is your favorite.

If you don't know the lyrics to Law and Order SVU, are you really a Criminal Justice major?

2. You always roll your eyes when someone thinks all Criminal Justice major's want to be cops.

Yes, some major in Criminal Justice to become a cop, but not all of us, so stop assuming.

3. The bloodier, the better.

Whether in a movie, a documentary, or even the news the bloodier, the more interesting it is to you.

4. You know way too many different court cases.

Odds are you have a secret stash of flash cards hidden somewhere with all of the different court cases you have to learn in each class, we all do it.

5. The laughter is so real when people say "you have an easy major."

I'm sorry but you please try and take a class full of memorizing and readings, you won't think it's too easy then.

6. "If I get in trouble, I'll know who to call in the future right?"


I will never understand why everyone always says this to us directly after we tell them we are Criminal Justice major's.

7. When people say "Oh I didn't know that was a major!"

I'm sorry but there is no chance of us ever being friends if you say this.

8. Yes, there are girls who major in Criminal Justice.

Yes! We exist! Hate to break it to you, but there are a lot more Criminal Justice major's out there than you think.

9. Sorry, but jail and prison are NOT the same thing.

Nothing pains me more to see people think they are the same thing, they are and never will be the same.

10. Watching documentaries on criminals is your favorite activity.

From Charles Manson, to Ted Bundy, every documentary is fun to watch in your free time.

11. You cannot help but get a huge smile when someone tells you that it's a bad ass major, because you know.

I may be biased, but Criminal Justice will always be the best major out there.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
