Everyone has that one friend- the waterworks show that never ends, who seems to have an allergy to getting water-proof mascara. (If you don't have this friend, YOU are this friend.) But that was in high school, the glory days of cutting class and slacking off. College, however, is very different. In college, EVERYONE is that person, regardless of whether they wear makeup or not. So if you want to become this friend, or want to try and avoid the advice given in this article (the latter is highly recommended), here are five ways to induce crying in college.

1. Don't get involved on campus and become a hermit

2. Get so involved on campus that you over-extend yourself

3. Don't call your mom or visit home

(Real talk, you know you miss your family and are well aware that they miss you too. If you can't visit home as often as you'd like, the least you can do is give them a call every now and then, or even shoot them a text! In fact, if you haven't called your mom today, I want you to stop what you're doing, call her, and tell her you love her... I mean, you can wait until after you're finished reading my article, but you get my point.)

4. Don't do your homework or study at all

5. Do all of your homework and studying at the same time

So in conclusion, if you are going to be crying, get yourself some non-waterproof mascara, don't wash your hair for a week, and scream for hours and hours until you're hoarse. That way, you will be just like that girl from The Grudge! (#cosplayonpoint)
