Crash out queens—you deserve it
It happens to all of us. A less than ideal grade, wanting coffee and not having it, the stress of recruit, or just wanting a minute for a good cry. But where to go? Look no further for I, the Jackman Crier, have reviewed the best crying locations at Jackman.
Philosopher’s Walk
To really get that meta-physical introspective experience, why not venture out to philosopher’s walk? Let nature heal you as your tears flow. Bonus points for performativism and spectators asking you if you’re okay.
A Library Study Room
Just because this is the easiest choice doesn’t mean it’s the right choice. Sure, you can book a study room to cry your heart out, but it just won’t hit the same way. Study rooms are for lock-ins, gossip sessions, or awkward meetings with the people you only acknowledge in said meetings. Don’t waste your tears here.
Couches in Flavelle Basement
Ah yes. Now we’re getting somewhere. Being in the depths of the law school where it’s always too warm perfectly embodies the low you’re already at. It’s secluded enough to awkwardly make eye contact with those passing by and, if you’re lucky enough, maybe you’ll even catch the locker thief and bring some joy back to your life. Or maybe you’ll spot another bug and realize you’re right at home.
Faith Space
Now this is a great option if you like to live on the edge. While the secluded nature of the faith space may seem like a great option, you’ll have to be prepared for the inevitable embarrassing shuffle out once someone who actually needs to use the faith space comes in. The unexpected scrambling you’re forced to do might just make you cry more.
Gender Neutral Bathroom Behind the MCC Office
The seclusion of this bathroom, along with its prime location makes it ideal. Plus, with how many people forget about its existence, you can get your cry in without anyone suspecting anything. Though, if anyone does notice how long you’ve been inside (likely the MCC), they might suspect you suffer digestion issues. A small price to pay for those who just need to let go (no pun intended).
Basement Library Hallway from Stairwell
Now if you know what I’m talking about, you’re a real one. This is the elite crying location. Actually, don’t even hold yourself back—have that full-blown meltdown. The white walls give that slight mental asylum vibe and the door at the end of the hallway gives that slight glimmer of hope. On sunny days, the green outside can be quite healing.
With all that said, sometimes we just need a good cry. I hope you’re able to find the space where you can do so best. To you, I now say—go crash out queen, you deserve it.
