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.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
