For a lot of people, crime shows gives them a thrill of adventure and curiosity, whether its in real life stories or fictional shows on TV. It keeps us at the edge of our seats sometimes to find out who committed the crime and see if you can decipher it before the characters in the show. In my own case, I love solving mysteries, intricate puzzles and riddles so these shows are a gold mine for me. Here are some shows that I fell in love with and want you to try out as well!!

1. "Criminal Minds"

This is the very first crime show I ever saw and I have to admit, this is where I fell in love! From the very beginning, Criminal Minds has kept me in its grasp with their intriguing story lines, well thought out plots, and it bases some of the episodes on real life crimes. The show follows a team of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit and how they use psychology, science, and investigative skills to hunt down the world's most dangerous criminals. In order to catch them, the team puts themselves in the criminal's shoes and think like they would! It's easily one of the scariest, most cautioning show on TV that sometimes makes you question the sanity of everyday people around you! Plus, it has one of the greatest casts of all time!!

2. "Bones"

This show combines my favorite topics: learning about human anatomy and the FBI's crime solving skills! A seemingly dysfunctional partnership that's turned into an amazing love story is found in this show's leads between the awkward forensic anthropologist, Temperance Brennan and bad-ass FBI agent, Seeley Booth. Together, their teams solve murders based on…you guessed it…BONES!

3. "CSI: Miami"

CSI is a drama series that follows a Southern Florida team of experts that apply a mixture of new scientific techniques with old deductive reasoning skills to help solve crimes in their town. Horatio Caine, an expert at the job leads the team to solve and answer questions for the victims of these crimes!

4. "Law and Order: SVU"

It is THE longest running crime show on TV! Law and Order takes a deeper look into the crimes of the Special Victims Unit of the NYCPD. The show consists of a group of highly intelligent detectives that work together to sexual assaults, domestic violence and child abuse and harassment.

5. "The Blacklist"

How is it possible that one of the FBI's Most Wanted is going work alongside the FBI to bring down a hidden group of elite criminals from the Blacklist? In this show, Raymond Reddington, one of the most dangerous crime lords in the world turns into a CI for the FBI on one condition: he only wants to work with the newly minted FBI agent, Elizabeth Keen. From the very beginning, audiences were always curious as to what Raymond's obsession with Liz is and so, I hope this season can help answer some of these questions!

6. "White Collar"

This series is about a former con artist, Neal Caffrey, becomes an FBI consultant and CI to an FBI Special Agent to solve high end crimes in the New York Metropolitan area. The show offers great scenic views of multiple countries and has such an attractive cast member (*wink* Matt Bomer)!

7. "How To Get Away With Murder"

What happens when future criminal lawyers get involved in a murder? This power packed and chilling-to-the-bones series keeps all audiences on their toes as we all try to figure out who the killer is and work the story backwards from the murders. In this drama, Viola Davis is a larger than life criminal defense attorney that gives a kick ass performance in every single episode!

8. "Sherlock"

This version of the Sherlock Holmes classic takes a modern approach as the stories are told in the 21^st century with Benedict Cumberbatch's flawless performance as he takes on the iconic character! His deductive reasoning skills and friendship with Dr. John Watson, portrayed by Martin Freeman, is the heart of the show!

In the end of all these shows, we really connect to the characters! Whether you connect to the darker side of you that you didn't know existed or if you really just like watching justice being served, these shows are a way to immerse yourself into another exhilarating ride!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
