Throughout life, we cry. Tears of joy are more favorable; However, a sad cry is sometimes needed. It's nice to cry it out sometimes. I made this collection for people who want new ways to express how they feel and maybe let out a little bit. It's incredibly important. I encourage you to seek help if it is an emergency. There is help out there for any issue you're facing. These songs have been used by many, including myself, to relate and helped others cope with their problems.

This list has brought together many different artists from various genres. Some songs contain sensitive subjects, so listen at your own discretion. Hopefully, you'll get lost in the music enough to get through whatever is troubling you. Maybe, you'll have a new sad jam for the next disaster (fingers crossed that doesn't happen soon). So without further ado, here is a collection of the finest devastating tunes to get your optical waterfalls bawling.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
