45 Times That I've Cried For Questionable Reasons

If I'm being honest here, I cry way more than I should. What can I say, I'm a sensitive person and sometimes even the silliest things get the best of me. For all other sensitive souls out there, you'll probably find this article relatable but even if you don't, you'll definitely find it humorous. Here's a small list of things that have really made me cry for reasons that I am unable to justify at this time, or possibly ever.

1. I watched "Up."

2. I watched the animated short film about clouds that plays before "Up."

3. Listened to a song about dads and daughters.

4. Saw a fluffy kitten and realized that I couldn't have it.


5. I thought I was going to be evicted from my apartment and have to drop out of college and move home.

6. I thought about what I was going to do after graduation.

7. Saw an old person eating dinner at a restaurant by themselves.

8. My mom told me not to eat my feelings.

9. I ate my feelings, and then regretted doing so.

10. Somebody told me feminism wasn't important.

11. I had to wear a shawl to junior prom.

12. My orthodontist made me get headgear.

13. I thought about driving.

14. One of my college professors made me feel stupid in front of the class.

15. Boys.

16. Somebody insulted my choice of major.

17. A kid ran his truck into my parked car. In a parking lot.

18. Derek Morgan left "Criminal Minds."


20. Nicholas Sparks existed.

21. I got overwhelmed for no apparent reason, so naturally I cried.

22. My advisor temporarily ruined my life. For the 14th time.

23. I went to college.

24. Was forced to try on jeans and/or swimsuits.

25. Boyfriend left me for a month.

26. Boyfriend left me for a weekend.

27. I got a zit.

28. Attended a wedding.

29. Ran out of alcohol.

30. For no reason, but probably because pms-ing.

31. Took a wrong turn and ended up taking an hour and a half detour on the way home from college.

32. Someone made fun of my knee brace.

33. My parents did something nice for me.

34. Graduated from 6th grade.

35. Watched "Marley and Me."

36. Didn't sleep for a week straight.

37. My Big got alumni status.

38. Every damn time I have to leave any of my favorite people.

39. Saw an old couple on a coffee date.

40. Tried to play intramural softball and get embarrassed because of how bad I sucked.

41. Thought about paying bills.

42. Dropped my phone, cracked the screen.

43. I saw one of my friends crying.

44. Looked at my tuition statement for school.

45. Started crying, didn't know why I was crying...cried some more.

And those are just a few of the reasons why my tear ducts have led me astray.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
