Places To Cry On Campus During Finals Week

The worst time of year has come again. A time of sorrow and a time of mental and emotional breakdowns. A time of studying until you're delusional and typing papers until your fingers throb. Finals Week has bestowed it's cruelty upon us and we might all need a good cry at least once during the next few days. It's difficult to find some privacy on any college campus, but Marist has a few hidden gems that might give you the space you need to release the waterworks.

The river.

There's all those little crevices in the woods and a beautiful view. What more could you want when crying about the 20-page paper due tomorrow that you haven't started? Plop down on the dock and look out toward the bridge as tears stream down your face. It's like a scene from a movie and your sad, stressed soul is the star.

Your dorm.

This one's tricky if you seriously want some privacy from all other people. Although, it's possible your roommate might need a good cry too during this week of hell so he or she may not mind joining you.

The library.

This may just happen without your control. You could be studying and really be on a role with that paper and then all of a sudden, you feel a breakdown coming on. If you don't want people seeing your blotchy, red, tear-stained face the bathrooms on the library are a pretty quiet place to let the river flow -- so is the staircase toward the back.

The dining hall.

Grab yourself a bowl of ice cream and let it out.

Your professor's office.

Maybe your sad eyes will make him sympathize with you and convince him give you an automatic A. Probably not, though.

During the exam.

It's very possible that this will happen to you because the stress is too much to bear. But, if you didn't study or just don't feel prepared for the exam, dramatic sobbing could be used as a tactic to get out of it. Take caution with this move though; it should only be used as a last resort. For even more dramatic effect, you can crawl under the desk and whip out a bottle of wine, like Robin Scherbatsky.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
