University is a lot of emotions.

Sometimes emotions involve crying – happy tears, sad tears, stress tears. It’s all normal!

We hope you never use this list, but in reality, crying is inevitable. So, we’d rather have you be comfortable and prepared should you need a safe space to let out your emotions.
