Goodbye, Agent Derek Morgan

Shemar Moore is officially saying farewell to "Criminal Minds" after 11 seasons on the CBS network. The beautiful, funny, draw dropping Shemar Moore has played FBI special agent Derek Morgan since the show started, but at the end of the episode on March 23, fans had to say goodbye to him.

In this episode, special agent Derek Morgan chooses to leave the BAU to focus on his wife and child after being tortured and nearly killed. In reality, Shemar Moore walked away from "Criminal Minds" in order to be able to start a family and travel without the torturous work schedule. Even though Shemar Moore has left the show on good terms, fans are still incredibly sad to see him go. Moore has always been a piece of eye candy for viewers. His character was one that viewers continuously fell in love with. He didn't make the show better, but in a sense he did make the show better.

We all fell head over heels in love with Derek Morgan every time he called Penelope Garcia "baby girl." After all, cute nicknames are most every girls weakness and when this hunky man says it, who wouldn't melt?

With that being said, he is the best friend to countless characters on the show. Penelope Garcia and Spencer Reid look up to Derek Morgan and truly love that beautiful, tall man. He is the type of friend that brings out the best in both of them.

When it comes to Dr. Spencer Reid, Agent Morgan is not only one of his best friends but he also has a wonderful way of introducing him. He says it with such a stern, yet pleasant voice. It adds extra emphasis to the intelligent doctor's name. And to top it all off, Spencer Reid is such an important part of Derek Morgan's life that he even used Spencer as his son's middle name.

We all swooned every time Derek Morgan used the L word. He didn't say it frequently but when he did, we all wished that we were on the receiving end of it. The good thing about television is that it looks like he is saying it directly to us. We can pretend, right?

Along with being a good friend Agent Morgan is always just a phone call away. Sometimes he is the one who relies on his friends instead of it being the other way around.

On his happier days, Derek Morgan has a handsome, devilish smirk that can be seen in the conference room. It doesn't matter who is talking or what the subject is, whenever this smirk is seen the world stops spinning for a moment. That smirk will be missed.

And of course, we are all going to miss Agent Derek Morgan shirtless.

Thank you, Shemar Moore for being our special agent Derek Morgan for 11 seasons. No one will ever be able to replace you at the BAU.

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?
