Goodbye Derek Morgan

A look back at his time at the BAU.

Goodbye Derek Morgan

In 2005, "Criminal Minds" premiered and brought us a group of profilers from the Behavioral Analysis Unit. They flew around the country solving crimes and getting inside the minds of the worst criminals. But most importantly, the show introduced us to Derek Morgan. He was the team's tough guy. He ran around kicking down doors and taking down the bad guys. And he did it without a shirt. After eleven seasons, Derek Morgan has said goodbye to the BAU. So in honor of last Wednesday being his final case, here are 11 Derek Morgan GIFs to remind you just how much you're going to miss him.

1. In Season 8, when Morgan taught Spencer Reid to play softball and they were literally the cutest.

In one episode, Derek convinces the team's young and uncoordinated doctor to join the FBI softball league, giving us the cutest lesson in baseball.

2. That time he cried.

In season two, Derek had to face the man that molested him as a child, and when he cries, we all cry.

3. This one, well, just because.

Same, JJ, same.

4. Whenever he talks to Garcia.

Their flirtatious relationship will be missed dearly.

5. Okay, so really any time they interacted.

I'm a firm believer the show won't be the same without this relationship.

6. Whenever he teased Reid.

They teased and pulled pranks on each other like brothers.

7. His friendship with Prentiss.

Remeber how heartbroken he was when she (fake) died?

8. How much he loved Reid.

In his final scene, he reveals that his son's middle name was Spencer, after "the best little brother" and the two had a heartfelt goodbye.

9. When he was afraid of elevators.

Even the toughest FBI agent has his fears.

10. And last, but definitely not least, when he was shirtless.

#blessed

So Derek Morgan, thank you for eleven seasons of everything mentioned above and more. We'll miss you.

Grab some tissues and watch Derek say goodbye to a few of his team members in his final scene here.

Ten Truths Every Honors Student Knows

One of the main reasons I came to Salem State was I was offered a spot in the honors program. While it offered many benefits, scholarships and priority registration to name a few, what drew me in was the strong sense of community and close knit friendships many found. I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
