15 Reasons Why Derek Morgan Leaving "Criminal Minds" is Not OK

For anyone who is as obsessed with "Criminal Minds" as I am, you too were devastated by the news that one of our favorite agents, Derek Morgan, is leaving the BAU. No more "baby girl," messing with Reid or catching unsubs. Morgan stole our hearts from the beginning. Here are just a few of the reasons why HE CAN'T GO.

1. Because look at that smile.

[ Heart melts.]

2. And that bod.

[Heart explodes.]

3. Because look how excited he was to hold baby Henry.

How will we ever find out if he becomes a dad?

4. Because who's going to have a prank war with Reid?

After all, sometimes you need a break from fighting crime and being a genius.

5. Because what about Garcia?!

Your baby girl needs you, Morgan.

6. Seriously, look at them.

7. Because J.J. can't take everyone's BS alone.

And Morgan has the perfect eyebrows to shoot back a sarcastic look.

8. Because someone needs to give Reid a hug when he's starting to doubt himself.

No one knows "pretty boy" better than Morgan.

9. Because who else would risk getting blown up to save everyone?

Because I sure don't know anyone else who would drive an ambulance with a bomb in it to save a city.

10. Because he sees the good in things...

...even if his job is catching the worst killers out there.

11. Because he gives the best compliments.

Somehow I even end up feeling better about myself.

12. Because no one else can pull off those sunglasses.

As much as I adore Hotch and Rossi, I don't think it would have quite the same effect.

13. Because he puts the unsubs in their place.

No one shows an especially evil unsub who's boss like Morgan.

14. Because who's going to teach Spencer to play baseball?

We all LOVE Reid, but he wouldn't have a chance at anything remotely athletic without Morgan.

15. And because dinner at Rossi's just won't be the same without him.

Morgan, you've been here since the beginning. You stole my heart from the first episode. I've learned about your past and watched you grow all while you caught killers. While I wish you the best, it breaks my heart to see you go.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
