Surely, with the price we're paying, it is not too much to ask...
It has long been a complaint of mine that we poor college students should not have to pay for water to drink. It is, after all, necessary for life. With the outrageous cost of tuition, housing, books, art supplies, gasoline, and PARKING already weighing down on the newly independent shoulders of young transitioning college students, it seems like they could maybe give us a break when it comes to water. Next, I thought, they'll be charging us for breathing their air.
I was so very wrong. This morning I woke up to a campus devoid not only of any drinkable water, but of any water at all. And so I had no choice but to use my precious bottles of drinkable water, that I purchased, to perform my morning necessities. Everyone has to draw the line somewhere. I'm drawing mine at being charged to flush the toilet. Maybe we should go on a toilet-flushing, tooth-brushing strike, and see if they decide to make running water free again.
