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.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
