In the upcoming weeks, there will be plenty of reasons that someone might need to shed a few tears...or a few hundred. Regardless of which category you fall into, here are the best places to cry in BGSU.

1. Wolfe Center for the Arts
Cry here for an echoey, aesthetic experience like no other. Honestly, someone might think you’re a FANTASTIC actor preparing for a role. You may be losing it, but you could just be thriving in the theatre department instead.
2. University Seal
Cry here at midnight because you have no falcon flame to kiss on the seal. If you want to be a Real Creep™, hide in the bushes and cry at other people’s love.
3. Lot 12
Cry here because you couldn’t find a parking spot as a result of BG students’ incapability to park in a way that allows many people to effectively fit into a large lot.
4. The Rec
Cry here because you ran for five minutes and still don’t have a six-pack. A cry can be scheduled an hour later when you regret ever scheduling leg day.
5. Jerome Library
Cry here behind the electronic bookshelves where you can build yourself a nice little cove. Avoid the 8th floor. That’s exclusively for crying on the inside silently, which you can assure everyone around you is doing.
6. Bowen-Thompson Student Union
Cry here in the exact center of the union because you’ve given up on life and it doesn’t really matter anymore who knows it. Alternatively, Steak and Shake was probably closed.
7. Doyt Perry Stadium
Cry here because (shockingly) our football team lost to UT and you’re spiraling into s never-ending pit of disappointment in the team.
8. Literally almost all of the parking lots
Cry here because you thought you could park for two minutes to go turn in a project and Parking Services saw you at your weakest point and attacked. Goodbye, $25.
9. The Oaks
Cry here because they ran out of mozzarella sticks right before you got there and your will to live is gone. The upstairs portion is especially great for giving up on life.
10. Olscamp Hall
Cry here because you’re stuck in an active learning classroom for an hour and 15 minutes and you are neither active nor learning and things just aren’t looking up for you.
11. Fine Arts Building
Cry here because you’ll never be able to draw quite as convincingly and meaningfully as an art major.
12. Offenhauer Towers
Cry here because if you live on the 11th floor and the mere idea of a fire drill looms over you and threatens you with those Eleven. Grueling. Flights. Of. Stairs.
