Hanging and have a 9am? Want to drown your sorrows but drowned by Rameoke instead?

Have no fear, here are the top haunts for the truly emotional (and unemotional) who just need a good cry around campus – everyone does.

The Ram:

Why Rameoke? Why?

All you wanted was a Ram cider and to play a friendly, slightly drunken game of pool. Is that too much to ask?

Now you see that a group has been hogging the table for a good hour and some wannabe starlet has wailed three songs in a row because they think they’re all that at Rameoke.

At times like this it is completely acceptable to wail relentlessly falling to the ground in a theatrically tragic manner.

Group rooms in the library:

Hold this pose for at least half a minute.

If you’re in that deep dark emotional place where you want to bring down as many people as possible the group rooms in the library are your best bet.

You can disrupt as many studious people as possible but can’t be chucked out for making noise.

Plus you get the added bonus of the glass windows to treat as your stage for the rest of the library. Misery loves company!

Bottom of Cardiac Hill:

Don’t stay here too long: Estate Patrol might arrive.

Hungover and got a 9am? Stood at the bottom of cardiac? Many a Thursday morning you will find a pile of miserable Freshers clawing their way up Cardiac hill on their hands and knees – particularly after a heavy TP Wednesday.

Bottom of Forum Hill:

Let the tissue trail for dramatic effect.

Yes, Forum hill might be Mont Blanc to Cardiac’s Everest but feel for those poor Lafrowdians. Frankly, any hill is unacceptable after the Freshers 15 have hit you.

Market Place:

Doritos, Doritos, Doritos – where are the Pringles?

We’ve all been there. Having left everything till the night before a deadline, a late night study session in the library has to be called for.

You need a quick break, stretch your legs, fancy a snack but they’ve run out of Pringles: life is over. The deadline isn’t going to be met. Tears will be shed.

In these instances a steady howl, building to a crescendo is what is necessary. Not only will you feel a little satisfied but you will also have voiced your clear dissatisfaction towards the lack of customer care you have received.

 Border of campus:

This could also be one of the best places to sleep on campus.

Terrified of leaving the uni bubble? Many have succumbed to a whimpering mess at the thought of leaving the campus bubble.

This is particularly true on Saturday nights. The idea of spending the evening in town instead of the safety of the Lemmy has left even the most hardened Rugby #LAD quivering at the campus line.
