Here are the best places to cry over your diss on Newcastle Uni’s campus

Diss season is here! The deadline is on the horizon, the stress levels are rising, and every student is wishing they had started writing in first year. Whether you’re currently devoting your life to writing, or you haven’t yet begun planning, chances are, you’re probably on the verge of a breakdown. So, to guide you through it, here are the best places to cry over your diss on the Newcastle Uni campus.

Med School

Not a med student? Perfect. Cry here and you’ll instantly feel better once you remind yourself you don’t have endless exams and three more years of uni left ahead of you. Witness the medics slave over studying for hours on end and your diss will feel like light-work. Incredible perspective boost.

(My condolences to actual Med students, hope you’re all ok x).

Phillip Robinson Library

An oldie but a goldie. Chances are, you’ve probably had a late-night breakdown here at some point in your degree. So, why not re-live some old memories and have a good weep in the corner of the fourth floor? It even comes with the added, extra-fun game of trying to contain your sobs in silent study.

Stephenson Building

Make use of the STEM buildings the uni pours all its money into when you feel the stress brewing. If you’re going to cry, you might as well get your £9k-a-years’ worth and do it in a flashy modern building rather than a dusty old one. Call it an expensive form of self-care.

The Quad

Beautiful flowers, grass and trees – take a seat on a bench in The Quad, be one with nature, and shed a tear, what a scenic place to cry.  Conveniently located opposite the Armstrong building, you can additionally contemplate if you’ll ever make it inside there to graduate.

The Northern Stage Café

A place that often falls under the radar, but one that is perfect for a cinematic breakdown. Stare out the window on a rainy day to contemplate your life choices like the main character in an Indie movie.

Luther’s

Rather the opposite to the other places on this list. Here, you can drown your sorrows in a pint at a cost of only £2.50. You never know, you might produce some of your best diss work after a drink or two.

Your diss supervisor’s office

Why not cry to the person who holds your fate in their hands? Sob, rant, scream, beg for an extension. It’s by far the best place for an emotional release when you’re in desperate need of reassurance – I must apologise to my supervisor for that one.

No matter where you decide to cry – grab a tissue and move forward. Keep on writing and you might actually finish your diss one day.
