"I see a clinic full of cynics."

Mount Holyoke students are crazy. It's a week into the semester, and people are already ridiculously stressed. I was chilling out in the TV room in one of the Rockies, when a girl comes in, slams something down on one of the armchairs, and bursts into tears. Awkward.
I feel uncomfortable when _I_ cry; what the hell am I supposed to do with someone else crying?
It's a small room, and she seemed to want to stay there and share her misery with me.
Apparently this breakdown was prompted by being locked out of her room after a bad day.
I got the impression she was a first-year, but I hope I was wrong. If she's a first-year and this stressed, she will never make it another three years at this college.
