Sob spots: Douglas College crying guide

> Best places to cry on the New Westminster campus

coming home from a long day of being
an adult and having a terrific sob, you
know, the kind when you sob so hard
you don't think you have any tears left

Hell fucking yes. The crying colossus. The god-tier sob spot. The library is like the Disneyland

the Other Press came to deliver. and that’s only the upstairs! As you make your way downstairs in full crying mode, you will

find that no one really cares that you're crying, so your tears will never be addressed, which is
a great comfort. The librarians won't even blink an eye as you return your soggy tear-stained
book with snot and tears streaming down your face. It will only

be returned by a “Have a nice day!” Definitely recommend.

 

 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
 
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
  
  
   
   
 
  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
 

Water fountain (outside 2nd floor)
This is a great place for a long, meaningless bawl. It’s almost therapeutic,
listening to the water stream trickle down like the tears flowing from your
face as you lament about how you're failing all four of your classes, even
though you only enrolled in two. If you're a loud crier, this is the Cadillac
of sob spots. Cry|as hard and loud as you want, as the noise of the water
falling into the pond will surely cancel out any howls and wails that you
emit from your bed an added bonus, you can blame the wetness on
your face on the fountain spraying you with water, so no

. Pe ;
one will know that you were crying. Highly recommend! Amelia Douglas Gallery (4th floor North)

This is the perfect crying spot for art
lovers, or those in need of a quick, quiet
weep. Enchant yourself with the artistic
’5-of-Hsoo Kyung’s Jayeonmi (“Natural

Beauty") aS you silently whimper to your
heart's content. The best part about this
Sob spot is that no one will approach you
to ask if you're okay, because they will just
assume you're crying because you are so
moved by the art. They'll probably think of you as passionate or brave
for showing such raw emotion, and leave you alone. Cry-sis averted!
(Just don’t wipe your tears on the art; people frown on that.

The stairs by the parking garage
Picture it: You're walking up that god-awful hill, you're
exhausted, emotional, stressed the hell out and you see the
cutest dog you have ever laid eyes on. Oh my God—look
at him, look at his fuzzy little face, he is so cute... oh shit,
ou need a sob a ASAP. Lucky for you, taking a uy

The elevator
This is THE spot to cry in whe
mess. Each elevator only has about-tv
50 don't be afraid to really let it out. You" I orobaiy ne never
See the people on the elevator again anyway, and they
definitely won't want to make eye contact with you as
you do one of those ugly hyperventilation cries (believe
me), So let it all out, dude. A true crying treasure.

 

the parking sarace will land you in the best crying ai
the exterior of Douglas College has to offer. Is there any
greater luxury than weeping on a great stoop? | doubt it.
