COLLEGE INSTALLS "CRY CLOSET" DURING FINALS

The University of Utah has installed a small room in the middle of the school’s Marriott Library. It’s called a “Cry Closet”, built by a couple of woodworking students as a project. The closet-sized structure features a narrow door with dark lining, a plush floor and stuffed animals inside. A note on the door reads, “A Safe Place for Stressed Out Students. This space is meant to provide a place for students studying for finals to take a short 10-minute break.” (And then, at the bottom: “No masturbating!”) Jana Cunningham, the school’s communications specialist, says the Cry Closet is mainly for students who are feeling overwhelmed with the stresses of finals. “It’s a great place to just come and decompress, and that’s really what it’s for,” she said.
* I bet she said that in soothing, comforting voice.
* Wait’ll these kids get into the workplace and find there’s no hugging allowed anymore.
* Does the Cry Closet have a Barney the Dinosaur night light?
* Here’s an idea – if a student goes over the 10-minute limit, they drop snakes down from the ceiling.
* Students don’t need a Cry Closet. They need a Party Pantry! Woo hoo!!
* I’ll bet the Cry Closet is more of a Vaper Chamber.
