Water Bottle – Gloria Lee

My everyday object is a water bottle. Regardless of its color, size, and shape, it is universally used to store some type of liquid. Consuming liquids is essential to our proper functioning as 75% of our brains are composed of water. As a result, I fill my water bottle with water and try to consume at least three full bottles a day. This water bottle represents my efforts to stay healthy and hydrated as well as the collective efforts of our community to save the environment by shying away from disposable plastic water bottles and reusing water bottles instead. Unlike a cell phone, a water bottle is not prohibited from class – thus it goes everywhere with me. Whether I am asleep on my bed or running on the treadmill, my water bottle is always an arm’s reach away from me. One’s water bottle can also say a lot about his or her personality as there are a variety of styles to choose from. It can tell a story by the condition it’s in and by the stickers that are attached to it. A water bottle is a basic necessity that one can embellish in any way to express oneself.
