Finals crept up on us faster than a diag squirrel realizing you're holding food. Honestly, midterms just ended and even with Thanksgiving, my brain isn't ready for a two-week solo party in the Ugli. These tough times call for drastic measures, so in case you can't make it back to your house between classes to scream or flood your room with tears, here are some other options to consider.
1. The Diag
Sometimes, your body is really craving making a scene. If this happens to be you, why hold back? You could be discrete about it (there are many trees you can climb up), but you may as well go hard or go home. I prefer a center spot at the 'M' to flail my body around for a couple of minutes.
2. 4th-8th floor stacks
You get a private cubicle! It's like that's what they were made for or something. Nice.
3. Cantina
Works even better if they decide to questionably snap your fake. Really go hard with this one, let it all out.
4. Mason Hall bathroom
Pick a stall, sit, chill, and let the waterworks begin.
5. Pancheros
Sometimes I find myself crying when I eat the chips and queso just because it's normally the peak of my week. However, post-cry, make sure you have a burrito or quesadilla to make yourself feel a little better.
6. 2nd floor Ugli
I respect this. Everyone sitting there pretending to do work will relate.
7. LSA advising
Especially when they tell you how screwed you are for the remainder of your educational career.
8. North Campus
Pick a pretty tree to lie under, and let your sorrows be free.
9. The Arb
You can be one with nature, and your finals blues.
10. The Hill
If you're feeling risqué, you could face the all-glass walls and make a scene.
