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.

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.
