Fergie was 100% wrong when she said "Big Girls Don't Cry." We cry all the time. School is hard. Labs are hard. Science is hard. Writing is hard. Finding good food at Taylor is hard. Not jumping out a window during cardio is hard. Finals are hard. Life is hard, and sometimes we just need to break down and let it all out. Next time you do, here are some low-key places to shed some tears on campus.
1. The duck pond
Not only is it peaceful and quiet and somewhere you probably won't run into friends, but also there are cute ass little ducks. What more could you ask for on a bad day than cute little ducks?
2. Third-floor library bathroom
It's just as quiet and peaceful, except no ducks. :( Either way, traffic is slow all the way up there on the silent floor, so you can sob all you want in there without worrying about someone coming in.
3. The sauna/ gym/any place where physical activity is a thing
Is life hard or are you just really over the quad burn the elliptical is giving you? Are those tears or beads of sweat from the heat and/or rigorous cardio? The world may never know and that is the beauty of it, folks.
4. Office hours
Because you might just get a quiz dropped or an extension on a project. That is all.
5. A stairwell
Because nobody takes the stairs anymore. We are all lazy ass college kids who have had a really tough day, do you really expect us to walk up 4 flights of stairs when we can press one singular button and let technology do the rest? If you need to let it all out, do it on the stairs because there is a 95% chance no one takes them.
6. The chapel
It's gorgeous in there. Plus, no harm in askin' for a little help from the man upstairs.
7. A laundry room
Because the acoustics in there are great and nothing makes you laugh more than hearing how ridiculous you sound sobbing via laundry room echoes.
8. Anywhere there's a mirror
Crying in front of the mirror heals all. You'll just end up laughing at yourself looking like a slobbery idiot.
