Art student displays "Cry Closet" for stressed out students during finals
2018-04-26
SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- If you've done the college experience then you know finals can be rough!

But Nemo Miller, an art student at the University of Utah is trying to cushion the final's week blow by creating an escape for students who might be feeling the finals week pressure.

It's called the "Cry Closet!"

The art project went viral after someone posted a picture of it on Twitter which ended up getting hundreds of thousands of likes and retweets.

But you can't just go in there willy nilly! There are rules they have to follow.

For example, you gotta knock before barging in (you don't want to interrupt someone mid-cry), one person at a time for only ten minutes, and use #cryclosetuofu if posting on social media.
And don't forget to wipe things down when you are done.

#10  Dear God, what is happening to these people when they get out in the real world and face other people who aren't going to be anywhere near as understanding of their pain?

#9  Granted I'm an old boomer, but damn.

Anyone I knew or knew of in school would have died of embarrassment if caught seriously thinking about, no less doing, any such thing. And that includes all the stoners.

#7  These are going to be your shock troops in the civil war? I guessed 'shocked' to come face to face with 4000 years of real human history.

#4  Funny - I used to get backed & shitfaced with my fraternity brothers as one way to deal with stress.

As Jimmy Dugan would say - 'There's no crying in academia!' God damn, grow the fuck up, you bunch of fucking babies.
