The University Of Utah's Library Has A Cry Closet

Um, relatable much?

The University of Utah knows what's up and now houses a "cry closet" for stressed students in their library. It's essentially just a tall box, with its insides covered top to bottom in black felt and stuffed animals sitting on its floor.

The content went viral on Twitter, garnering hundreds of thousands of retweets and likes after a student tweeted:

Rules of the cry closet include:

1. Knock before entering

2. Only one person in the closet at a time

3. Only one person in the closet at a time

4. Turn lights and timer off before leaving

5. Use #cryclosetuofu if posting on social media.

It turns out, there's a little bit more to the story. It's actually an art installation project created by a student, Nemo Miller, not installed by university officials. Miller was looking to help fellow students cope with testing anxiety.

It is described as a project designed to "provide a place for students studying for finals to take a short 10-minute break."

Considering every college student right now is studying (stu-DYING) their butts off, we could probably all use some of these. Where are the other Nemo Millers of the world?

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
