The Best Places to Cry in Durham

We’ve all been there – some more than others – that moment when we just need to let it pour out. Here’s are the top 5 places to do it:

Elvet Bridge

Visit at night time for added effect

For best results stand facing over the side with hands folded on the top. Elvet Bridge promises a romantic, watery backdrop in which to enjoy your misery, also adding extra drama, as often exhibited on Made in Chelsea.

Other options include Kingsgate Bridge (if you don’t mind the b-e-a-utiful DSU ruining your view) or Prebends Bridge. Whichever one you fancy, there’s guaranteed to be a bridge close by for your convenience.

The Cathedral cloisters

So very atmospheric

For letting go of your emotions in a more atmospheric, ethereal setting, perch round the edge in the knowledge that you’ll be following in the footsteps of many more sad people throughout history.

The Library

Plus-size books for extra comfort

Handy for that for that pre-exam/summative period when it’s just getting all too much. For added seclusion the Tab recommends the shelves between +709.34 to +738.0968 on level 3. This is advised if you don’t want to be judged by all the other people who seem to be coping better.

Klute toilets

Enough said.

Because let’s face it, you’re going to be crying there anyway. Either during a depressed, drunken sobbathon or just because in general NOTHING works (take your pick of maintenance issues…) – Klute toilets are guaranteed to bring you to tears.

Your bedroom

If your bedroom looks like this then it’s even better

The all time favorite, your bedroom allows you to have a breakdown at your own leisure, surrounded by all your closest personal possessions. It also means you’re free from the hassle of being disturbed by other people…unless you have a shared room in which case you’re just straight out of luck.
