Staying Hydrated in the Dorms feat. Brita®


This is a sponsored post by Brita®. All opinions are my own.


 One of my biggest struggles the past few years is making sure I'm drinking enough water. Water is so important (duh, Connie), but it's so easy to forget to drink enough throughout the day! And without my mom to remind me while I was at college in the dorms, it was even harder. 


As my first year as a college student went on, I realized what items were really necessary while living in a dorm. In my building, the water fountain was all the way down the hall in the bathroom. The trip down the hall seemed so far away and wasn't ideal (I can be lazy). I've come up with a few ways to make drinking water much more of a habit while living in the dorms, keeping you healthy, awake, and happy.


Invest in a good water bottle  ||  Carrying a water bottle with you is the smartest decision you can make while at school (and ever). This Brita® bottle carries 20 oz of water, and by throwing it in your backpack before class and taking it out and setting it on you desk during lecture, you're set to stay hydrated while focusing in class! All Brita® products are BPA free and has it's own water filter. How awesome is that?

Buy plastic cups for your room  ||  I like to keep water in my water bottle and use plastic cups for other drinks, like home brewed iced tea! Having plastic cups is great because you don't have to worry about them breaking and glass shattering.

Stay perfectly hydrated with a Brita® pitcher  ||  This is by far the greatest solution to my stay-hydrated problem. Remember when I said walking all the way down the hall wasn't ideal every time I wanted water? Brita® is here to the rescue! You can fill up the pitchers and not worry about making multiple trips to the fountain during a study sesh (or Netflix marathon, let's be real ;)). Though the water fountain is drinkable water, it's not rare for it to taste a little funky. The filtration systems in Brita® products leaves your water tasting clean and great, which is a big deal for me. It's hard for me to drink funky tasting water! Plus, by investing in a Brita® pitcher (they're so affordable!), the amount of waste is greatly reduced, saving big bucks. As college students, we need to save as much as we can. How great is that?!


Brita® items are luckily available at Targetone of my number one spots for back to school. Knowing that Brita® provides products that leave my water tasting great, that their products are BPA free, and that they're so affordable, I know that the rest of my college (and beyond) years will definitely be hydrated.

What items do you use to stay hydrated? Do you have a Brita® pitcher?
Cheers!
