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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
