Top 10 Places to Cry on Campus

  1. The B-Level Stacks

They go on forever. You can find a corner and sit down to cry, and nobody will come across you the entire time. Plus, it’s kinda dark down there, which adds to the ambiance of despair.

  1. Office Hours

One of the most productive uses of crying. You’re only showing up if you need help anyways. Plus, maybe your professor will feel bad and give you some extra points on your next exam.

  1. Stuart Reading Room Cubicle 9

I’m writing this article here, so I can confirm it’s a fantastic crying spot.

  1. Under Your Roommate’s Bed

Bonus points if they have a guest over! Especially if it’s that person they’re dating. Honestly, they need to get higher standards.

  1. Harper 145 from 7 to 8pm on Sunday

We won’t tell anyone, promise 😉

  1. A Staircase in Your Dorm

Built-in seating, nearby bathrooms and drinking fountains, and close enough to your room that you can lie miserably on your bed once you’re done.

  1. The Stairs Outside Kent

Everyone will understand.

  1. Inside Mansueto

Let’s be honest, you’re probably not very happy if you’re in Mansueto. But hey, at least it’s the perfect place for a mid-study mental breakdown!

  1. In the Middle of Your Hardest Class

It’s the most likely place for you to start crying, anyhow.

  1. Any Hallway Between 10pm and 6am

During typical sleeping hours, there probably won’t be many people passing by, so bawl your eyes out!
