In this journal, I will talk about a problem in the LVC dorm. I will talk about Kiester Hall because I live there. Although the Kiester Hall consists of three floors, the hall has only stairs. It is difficult to have only stairs in the dorm that has three floors because student always move in and out with their luggage more than one times during the semester. For example, during spring semester, students need to leave the dorm during spring break, easter break and then in the summer if they do not have any classes. Moving in and out with the luggage by stairs is difficult and makes students tired and may result in fall, especially we are freshmen and do not have that strength to move our heavy luggage by stairs. Therefore, I suggest to have an elevator or a ramp that will makes moving our luggage in and out the hall easier, more safety and takes less time than with stairs.

The problem I will talk about in this journal is the design of my coffee cup. The design of the coffee cup does not have cover on the opening where you drink the coffee. Because there is no cover on the opening, I cannot put in my pack back. This problem makes me never use the coffee cup when I go out because it hinders my movement. For example, if I go to my class, I should carry my coffee cup by my hand all the time if I did not drink all the coffee so I get terrible in opening doors of the halls. Also in the winter, my hands freeze because I hold my coffee cup on my hands. Using this coffee cup makes me uncomfortable since it hinders my mobility. To solve the problem, I suggest to make a cover for this opening. This cover has one end attach to the coffee and the other end is movable. The movable end is used to cover or uncover the opening and the end that attaches to the cup is needed to not lose the cover so the cover always stick with the cup.
