The 5 Saddest Places on Northwestern’s Campus
- Blomquist Gymnasium
Frequented by sorority girls who aren’t rich enough to belong to EAC, Blom has a unique sadness to it that can be attributed to the general low self-esteem and formaldehyde smell.
- Blomquist Gym’s Check-In Desk
The people who work at Blom are forced to sit in the hellhole 8 hours per week, making their desk especially sad. Try not to interrupt their studying when you enter. Don’t make eye contact.
- Blomquist Gym’s Basketball Court
Whether it’s populated by intermural sports or a pick-up game of b-ball, the court is full of non-athletes desperately trying not to get injured. They always get hurt. That’s why it’s sad.
- Blomquist Gym’s Wall Spider
Any regular at Blom is familiar with the one spider that lives on the pipe by the TVs. It’s all alone; the only spider on the premises. The place is so sad that even the pests are sad.
- Blomquist Gym’s Locker Room
None of the lockers close. It smells like an operating room, and the weird hospital-style changing screens add to the “almost dead” ambiance. It’s carpeted? It is without a doubt the saddest place on campus.
