Goodbye Derek Morgan

A look back at his time at the BAU.

Goodbye Derek Morgan

In 2005, "Criminal Minds" premiered and brought us a group of profilers from the Behavioral Analysis Unit. They flew around the country solving crimes and getting inside the minds of the worst criminals. But most importantly, the show introduced us to Derek Morgan. He was the team's tough guy. He ran around kicking down doors and taking down the bad guys. And he did it without a shirt. After eleven seasons, Derek Morgan has said goodbye to the BAU. So in honor of last Wednesday being his final case, here are 11 Derek Morgan GIFs to remind you just how much you're going to miss him.

1. In Season 8, when Morgan taught Spencer Reid to play softball and they were literally the cutest.

In one episode, Derek convinces the team's young and uncoordinated doctor to join the FBI softball league, giving us the cutest lesson in baseball.

2. That time he cried.

In season two, Derek had to face the man that molested him as a child, and when he cries, we all cry.

3. This one, well, just because.

Same, JJ, same.

4. Whenever he talks to Garcia.

Their flirtatious relationship will be missed dearly.

5. Okay, so really any time they interacted.

I'm a firm believer the show won't be the same without this relationship.

6. Whenever he teased Reid.

They teased and pulled pranks on each other like brothers.

7. His friendship with Prentiss.

Remeber how heartbroken he was when she (fake) died?

8. How much he loved Reid.

In his final scene, he reveals that his son's middle name was Spencer, after "the best little brother" and the two had a heartfelt goodbye.

9. When he was afraid of elevators.

Even the toughest FBI agent has his fears.

10. And last, but definitely not least, when he was shirtless.

#blessed

So Derek Morgan, thank you for eleven seasons of everything mentioned above and more. We'll miss you.

Grab some tissues and watch Derek say goodbye to a few of his team members in his final scene here.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
