The Incredibly Small Cup

From those of use who have been fortunate enough to visit the new Valley Dining Center, let me be the first to tell you that it is great. Sure the food is a little mediocre, and there is so much constant hustle and bustle you can hardly hear yourself think, but the building is nice, and the options are plentiful. So with so much that has been put into it, you'd think it would be flawless, but it's not. There is one major thing that they really messed up on in the planning. No, its not the distance from main campus, nor the lack of hyper-friendly staff that we have grown to expect, and it's not even the floors that seem to never be swept. It is something much more severe than all of that put together. 

It's the cups.

So you and your friends are hungry, and decide to go check out the new Dining Center you've heard so much about. After walking through the bountiful choices, you decide to get a hot dog from the "Blazin' Bronco." It's not bad, but its quite dry, and so you see the recognized light of a soda dispenser not too far away. Your dry mouth begins to water in anticipation of the fizzy and familiar taste of Pepsi, and you move towards it. The many options entice you, and you decide to go for an Orange Crush today. You excitedly reach for a cup. But wait... What is this shit in your hand!? This is no cup! This is a very tiny, very narrow bowl! Out of confusion you grab the next, and the next before realizing there's no escape! It is this, or nothing. In desperation, you decide to give it a try. After taking less than two seconds to fill, you head back to your seat. You begin to take another bite from your hot dog, but there it is again, that yearning for a cool refreshment in your mouth. You take a sip, and before you can even get one gulp in the drink is gone! You get up to try and refill your cup, but the walk is so far you cannot make it before the thirst overcomes you. Not even half way, you begin to stumble, dehydration taking hold. In an act of desperation, you launch yourself at the fountain of liquid love, managing a single, coarse "Help" before you pass to the floor,  You have become yet another victim of the Incredibly Small Cup.
