I just want to major and minor in everything?
I want to go to Law School that's a given, with what I wish to do with it is still in the planning process: prosecutor, private company, defense attorney, government job, judge ect.
As of right now my major is Criminology, I need to declare a minor so that I can have classes fill up my schedule, but I'm not sure what, and then I want to double major, so there's that too. But I want to do everything from international affairs, to business, economics, social work, philosiphy.. SO OVERWHELMING
I'm in my sophomore year, so I'm taking classes in my major but I don't really want 5 criminology classes, so I need a minor or another major.
How would a double major in Criminology and Economics sound minoring in Religion?
Its a weird combination, but combines the criminology I need for law school, with economics for real life situations that requires math which I enjoy, and religion as a minor because the religion classes offered always intrigue me
My parents are already okay with paying for it and I have a scholarship that pays for 75% of my tuition anyways. So there's that, it's just I'm not sure what I wanna do.

I would drop the criminology major and just do econ. You do not need any specific degree for law school. In fact, criminal justice/criminology majors tend to score the lowest, on average, on the LSAT. Econ majors tend to score high. Getting into law school is about knowing how to think, reason, and write. There are no "law" questions on the LSAT.
You need to talk to your adviser because it's obvious you have no clue what you're doing. There's no way a criminology major requires so many classes that you have nothing left to take besides 3 straight years of criminology classes. I'm sure your school has gen-ed requirements.

If you have to pay for all of this yourself, could you? Narrow your choices down. When you do not pick a viable major, you spend so much time and money not reaching for your real goal: graduation and a job. What is it that you will earn your living doing? Professional student does not count.
You work toward the end of your major, no one really worries about the minor, though you still have an interest in that. Almost no one will complete the coursework required for a minor.
Since you are obviously not paying for this, your parents will start pressuring you to really be practical, and may even withdraw their money. Don't do a double major ever. That's just being crazy. You obviously think your parents will support you for the extra time this takes.
