So basically, some water fountains suck, some water fountains are epic, others are mediocre, and a few are jokes. Ok, ok, I know what you’re thinking: “Seriously, these guys are writing an article about the school water fountains? No wonder no one reads this paper!” Now, I can’t guarantee that you’re wrong about that last point, but you know we’ll be writing about the school’s various fountains in excruciating detail. We’ll be discussing our opinions and stating some facts about each and every water fountain on school grounds. So, let’s just jump right into it.
Starting off on the first floor, there is the double water fountain near the stairwell. The tall one is honestly pitiful as it doesn’t even work, so there isn’t much to say about it, and the shorter one has almost no water pressure. Next is the water fountain in the lunchroom; this one is pretty good, though not exceptional. The water has decent pressure and a water bottle filling station, however the water itself is slightly colder than room temperature. After that is the water fountain next to the entrance to the gym. It is reliable and very useful after exercising, and it also is decently cold, which makes it good even if you aren’t exhausted from exercising. Next is the water fountain next to the exit in the gym; this is a double water fountain, and while the taller one is nothing to write home about, the shorter one is fantastic, providing perfectly cold water.
Before we forget, how about we pay our respects to the third floor water fountain. The fountain on the third floor has been the king of the fountains for a while, but in recent weeks, that is beginning to turn untrue. The third floor fountain used to be excellent for filling water bottles and magnificent for long, between-class drinks. Nowadays, it takes you forever to fill your bottle, and then lines form full of folks trying to take a quick sip of water. This makes you conscious of how long you’re taking to fill the water bottle, so you just leave even when your bottle is not full and awkwardly mumble something like “I don’t know why it’s taking so long…” or “sorry guys.” And if you are trying to take a long drink from the spout, the water shoots out at full power and then droops over the fountain. However, the high rank of the third floor fountain has been taken over by the second floor fountain, as it has made a name for itself as as fast place to fill up your water bottle. And if you want to take a swig of water, the stream is consistent and cool.
Anyway, that about wraps it up, a hot take on all the school’s water fountains.
