Vitamin Water Anyone???

So as many people of BYU know, finals just finished and with that brings the endless chore of packing all the stuff you've collected over the year, not to mention all the stuff you brought up with you. That is ALOT of stuff!!! But before you can begin packing, what is the first thing you must do? Throw away all the trash that your room has accumulated over the year. For me, this wasn't very hard, a few papers here and there, the occasional surfing magazine and of course the foot high stack of paper cereal bowls always one away from falling over. Once these unnecessary items are discarded, one can begin to pack. Well not me....other than the three things mentioned above, I had one more, fairly large pile to throw away that until today was hidden from the world. I am talking about my 213, empty plastic bottles of Vitamin Water.

Now you must know that I am completely obsessed with Vitamin Water. When I was 17 playing for the Long Beach Volleyball Club, one of our sponsors was Vitamin Water. At first I did not like the stuff, it was all about orange Gatorade for me! But sometimes I'd forget my precious drink, and practicing for three hours each practice made one quite thirsty. So who was there to quench my dying thirst and replenish my wispy electrolytes? VITAMIN WATER! We had the stuff in the hundreds at every practice, every scrimmage, every game, match and most importantly, every flavor. I soon was addicted to a new favorite drink.

So back to the original story. BYU was so kind as to continue it's supply of my addiction in their vending machines in the dorms. However, they were not free like I was used to. But I purchased each 20FL bottle all the same and after I finished, I would just throw them up on the ski rack in my room. Hence the 213 that I surprisingly found while cleaning out the rack this afternoon. Gotta love it!
