Goodbye, Agent Derek Morgan

Shemar Moore is officially saying farewell to "Criminal Minds" after 11 seasons on the CBS network. The beautiful, funny, draw dropping Shemar Moore has played FBI special agent Derek Morgan since the show started, but at the end of the episode on March 23, fans had to say goodbye to him.

In this episode, special agent Derek Morgan chooses to leave the BAU to focus on his wife and child after being tortured and nearly killed. In reality, Shemar Moore walked away from "Criminal Minds" in order to be able to start a family and travel without the torturous work schedule. Even though Shemar Moore has left the show on good terms, fans are still incredibly sad to see him go. Moore has always been a piece of eye candy for viewers. His character was one that viewers continuously fell in love with. He didn't make the show better, but in a sense he did make the show better.

We all fell head over heels in love with Derek Morgan every time he called Penelope Garcia "baby girl." After all, cute nicknames are most every girls weakness and when this hunky man says it, who wouldn't melt?

With that being said, he is the best friend to countless characters on the show. Penelope Garcia and Spencer Reid look up to Derek Morgan and truly love that beautiful, tall man. He is the type of friend that brings out the best in both of them.

When it comes to Dr. Spencer Reid, Agent Morgan is not only one of his best friends but he also has a wonderful way of introducing him. He says it with such a stern, yet pleasant voice. It adds extra emphasis to the intelligent doctor's name. And to top it all off, Spencer Reid is such an important part of Derek Morgan's life that he even used Spencer as his son's middle name.

We all swooned every time Derek Morgan used the L word. He didn't say it frequently but when he did, we all wished that we were on the receiving end of it. The good thing about television is that it looks like he is saying it directly to us. We can pretend, right?

Along with being a good friend Agent Morgan is always just a phone call away. Sometimes he is the one who relies on his friends instead of it being the other way around.

On his happier days, Derek Morgan has a handsome, devilish smirk that can be seen in the conference room. It doesn't matter who is talking or what the subject is, whenever this smirk is seen the world stops spinning for a moment. That smirk will be missed.

And of course, we are all going to miss Agent Derek Morgan shirtless.

Thank you, Shemar Moore for being our special agent Derek Morgan for 11 seasons. No one will ever be able to replace you at the BAU.

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.

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.
