7 Reasons Why You Need To Watch 'Criminal Minds'

"Criminal Minds" has had 11 seasons so far and still going strong. Why?

1. Have you seen Dr. Reid?

First off, he is incredibly handsome. Plus, who does not love a good nerd? He knows more facts at the tip of his pinky finger than most people know their whole lives.

2. Umm, hello—Derek Morgan.

Hottie, am I right? (I'm totally right.)

3. Don't worry, guys, I didn't forget about you. JJ is just one of many beautiful and highly intelligent ladies on the show.

She's beautiful, kind, warm-hearted, but can also kick butt. What more could you ask for?

4. Penelope Garcia.

What is TV anymore without a hacker? We see it in "Arrow" (a very successful CW show) as Felicity Smoak; we see it in "The Flash" as Cisco Ramon (another very successful CW show). Everybody loves a good hacker, especially when they are using their powers for good rather than evil.

5. The relationship between Derek Morgan and Penelope Garcia.

The way Derek talks to Penelope is how every girl dreams of being treated by her Mr.Right.

6. The mystery.

I mean, who doesn't like a good mystery show? Even with all the episodes they created, they still come up with new and inventive scenes for everyone. No two episodes are alike, which is the great part about this show. Even though they are all focused on catching a serial killer, no serial killer is exactly the same. They all have their own story, their own background, etc. They all have differences; they all have different (criminal) minds.

7. The plotl ine.

Unlike other crime shows, these characters take you on a journey. It's more than just fighting crime. You discover more about the characters along the way. Like why did Hotch get a divorce, and what ever happened to his son? What is the story behind Prentiss? What is family life like for JJ? These characters have a life outside of kicking butt and taking names. They have a history, and "Criminal Minds" does a great job of taking you on this adventure with them throughout their crazy lives.

10/10 would recommend.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
