Most Depressing Places On Campus, Volume X: The Meyerson Basement

Now that classes are actually getting hard and all your friends have gone Greek, it's time to face the facts: it's winter, it's cold and we're pretty damn upset about it. Given all of this, we couldn't think of a better time to bring back our most emotionally distraught feature! You've likely forgotten all about the dark, depressing basement of Meyerson. But not to worry, we're reminding you because It's the perfect place to hide now that the winter wonderland from this weekend has melted into dirty grey slush-water.  

There's only one window in this entire, dreary room, but don't let that get your hopes up. This thin strip of pane only gives you a view of students on the second floor getting lost as they try to find a class that isn't so life-changing after all (thanks a lot Penn Course Review). The only adequate lighting comes from the cafe; an ideal place to soak up your tears with overpriced carbohydrates. 

The aesthetic of the basement (retro, space-galaxy, locker-lined chic?) is too ambiguous to be anything but depressing. Though we do appreciate the plastic orange chairs as an attempt to market the basement as a creative space, they're less convincing than than us continuing to insist we definitely do have Seasonal Affective Disorder. 

We get that your friends are tired of hearing you (and probably us) complain about DRL. Surprise them with something new by whining about Meyerson being just as far way and equally as sad. If they get tired of that, here are a few more places to be depressed about: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX.
