13 Of The Best 'Criminal Minds' Opening And Closing Quotes
the CW

Oh, Criminal Minds. I love you for your suspense, your never-ending storyline, but, most surprisingly, your opening and closing quotes. Since I started watching the show, my Twitter is honestly just a maze of inspirational, thought-provoking opening and closing quotes from agents of the Behavioral Analysis Unit, usually said as the screen pans to a huge jet flying over a city. In eleven seasons, I have come to love a few, and these are my favorites:


1. "No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself." -John Steinbeck

(Season 11, Episode 21)


2. "Find the place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain." -Joseph Campbell

(Season 7, Episode 8)


3. "There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love." -Washington Irving

(Season 5, Episode 11)


4. "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it." -Helen Keller

(Season 2, Episode 5)


5. "Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future." -Paul Boese

(Season 9, Episode 13)


6. "Try again, fail again. Fail better." -Samuel Beckett

8. “Just because everything's different doesn’t mean anything has changed.” Irene Peter

(Season 10, Episode 1)

(Season 9, Episode 18)


10. "There is no footprint too small to leave an imprint on this world." -Unknown

(Season 9, Episode 16)

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.
