Wait Time to Scream into Campus Emergency Box Up 5 Hours as Finals Approach

Stressed students are coming in droves to BYU’s emergency boxes this week as final tests and project due dates approach, sending the wait time to loudly vent their greatest frustrations and anxieties to the overworked blue machines skyrocketing at all locations.

“It’s nice to have a chance to get really loud about what’s got you down.” Says Caroline Burns, a Freshman who didn’t mind waiting in the cold for three hours to tell emergency box #27 about her C in Econ 101, “When you finally get your turn, you just press the ‘help’ button and then start letting it out.”

Although Caroline is grateful for the free service, not all students are happy about having to wait. BYU is proud to have the greatest emergency box to student ratio of any university in the state, but admits there is a lot of progress to be made.

“Until we get more emergency boxes installed, we’re just going to have to make due.” University spokesperson Lucas Alward communicated to the press, “But, while we continue to assess the situation, students should know that they are free to scream, yell, or complain to our untrained doors, walls and trees. Anything on campus really.”

Although emergency box wait times might not decrease anytime soon, distressed students still struggling in line during this finals season are learning something about getting through their hard times that they might not have expected: in turns out that the wait time to talk to someone that cares about them is zero. People are always there, behind and in front of them in line.
