5 Best Places To Cry In College: Columbia College Chicago Edition

Relationship troubles, homesickness, homework stress, your mom told you you are not her favorite child via Facebook status, "Law & Order: SVU," the sudden realization you're going to die alone — these are just a few of the reasons everyone cries. Let's be honest, with the lack of privacy in the dorm rooms, it may seem impossible to find the perfect place to let the water works flow.

Fear not, I have cried in just about every place possible on CCC and have found the hottest spots to sob!

5. Your dorm bathroom.

Locked doors and access to running water, what more could you ask for when crying? This spot is ideal for crying about your family and home, because nothing says "home sweet home" like crying on the toilet!

4. The theatre building.

Everyone thinks theatre majors are emotional and dramatic, so why not perpetuate that stereotype and weep your heart out. Don't worry if students and professors stare at you, they are just in awe of how you can cry on command like a true thespian; they'll never know you're lonely and have been single for 20 years.

3. The streets of Chicago.

People ignore the homeless on the streets, so they will probably ignore you too! If you do get noticed, you might get some cash, make a new friend or even get hit on! (Your girl did get hit on while crying on Plymouth Court a few blocks away from 731. SERIOUSLY NOT JOKING.)

2. At a party.

Nothing says your the belle of the ball like balling your eyes out. I have cried at a party before. In fact, it was at my first college party (RIP Babe Palace), and I must say it was very rewarding. A lot of emotions were released that night, and I made new friends. I would definitely cry at a party again. I might just cry at every party I go to.

1. Screw it, cry anywhere.

Go ahead cry in your dorm. Why should care you if your roommate catches you in the middle of your crying session? Never change who you truly are. NEVER CHANGE! CRY IN PUBLIC LIKE THE ADULT YOU ARE!

P.S. You can always hit up your girl Natty Ice (that's me) if you don't want to cry alone.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
