Exam season is upon us, and that can only mean one thing: ugly stress crying in every corner of Carleton, whenever possible. We’re all in this together, ravens. Here are the 10 best places to cry at Carleton University when you just can’t even:<\/p>\n
Book your time slot online so nobody interrupts you- they don’t have to know you’re in there crying. You booked your time. Do with it what you want.<\/p>\n
If you don’t live on campus, make a friend who does and see if you can use their room for your crying needs. If your friend on residence lets you cry into their pillow, not only is it relatively private, but you can also fall asleep in their bed when crying drains all of your energy. Just remember to flip over their pillow after so they don\u2019t notice if you smeared your mascara all over it.<\/p>\n
Professor MacIsaac, I would like to personally thank you for listening to me ramble about things that weren\u2019t even related to your class, and for not judging me (at least, I don\u2019t think you judged me?) that time I ugly cried in front of you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I haven\u2019t tried it yet, but I\u2019m willing to bet that if you just went into an empty classroom in residence commons, locked the door, and wrote \u201ctaken\u201d on the little chalkboard outside, nobody would even notice.<\/p>\n
Bring back one of the classics from high school. Either you\u2019ll feel super nostalgic, or you\u2019ll cry even harder because something smells weird, someone is awkwardly trying to pee and pretend they can\u2019t hear you crying, and you\u2019re crying in a bathroom, for pete\u2019s sake. Get it together.<\/p>\n
If it\u2019s not -60 outside and you can bear to leave the tunnels, head out to the river – it\u2019s a perfect place for dramatic outbursts, and nobody can yell at you for screaming into the abyss because you can use your outdoor voice there.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s that even called? Does anyone know? Its like, kinda near the Starbucks, but there\u2019s couches and stuff. Sure, people will be trying to study, but they can put in headphones. Your 4th mental breakdown of the day is more important.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nothing feels quite as good as hugging a dog while you sob uncontrollably.
\nIf you really gotta let it out but Blue isn\u2019t there, you can always just cry in the counselling office. Mental health is kind of what they deal with there, nobody will judge you, and they\u2019ll probably give you candy.<\/p>\n
These only work if you can stop crying on demand, if you\u2019re in the elevator alone, or if you\u2019ve genuinely stopped caring (and I mean, hey, it\u2019s exams, we\u2019ve all stopped caring.) These are especially good if you don\u2019t have time for a full blown emotional outburst, but you need to let something out.<\/p>\n
This one is mostly for the residence students, but you could also just stay on campus really late to get the full effect (remember that residence friend you made in #2?) Unless its Thirsty Thursday at Ollies, not many people are in the tunnels at 3 am – and the echo of your wailing is actually quite satisfying. You could also cry in the tunnels in the middle of the day if you\u2019re late to your exam and maybe one of the tunnel cart drivers will give you a ride there (no, I totally didn\u2019t do this first semester, why do you ask?)<\/p>\n
