The Suffolk Journal

Suffolk is a Boston school through and through and we at the Journal are proud of that. Our campus is in the heart of Downtown Boston and yes, we love that dirty water—just not for drinking. Unfortunately that’s the only option we have if we don’t want to pay money for something that’s supposed to be free. It’s Tuesday night, which means that we are toiling away in the Journal office right now to bring you the news about what’s going on at our school. We are toiling away in a hot, dry office, so a nice gulp of fresh cold water could do us a world of good right now, but we don’t have that option. There are bubblers bubblers everywhere, but not one decent enough to drink from. If you don’t know what we’re talking about, let us explain. When you press the button on one of the bubblers on the fifth floor of Donahue, instead of getting a gentle stream of crystal clear water that replenishes our dry throats, we get cloudy gray water that just doesn’t taste right. One of our staffers thought he’d bypass the bubblers and fill up a water jug from the bathroom sink. It’s free and green, something our school champions. So, he drank from the water jug all night and then took a closer look when he filled his jug for the last time. The water was cloudy and gray. Another staffer described it as “the stuff I spit up after smoking too much.” Instead of enjoying fresh, replenishing water, he opted to drink the free soda we got earlier in the night. This has grossed us out for some time now, so we’re asking Suffolk: please do something so we don’t have to drink soda because the water is so utterly undesirable. Thank you.
