From backpacks to chromebooks, students enjoy adding a little bit of their personality to the things that they bring to school. For some, their water bottles are no exception.
Let’s take a look at how and why some students decide to decorate their water bottles!

“I just found them really cute,” freshman Vivian Lam said. “I got them from Brandy [Melville].”
CASSIA TRUONG
“So I got most of these stickers from Shein, like the ones that look like they’re from Greece, because I’m obsessed with Mamma Mia,” junior Cassia Troung said. “And then a few of these are from my friends, like the Jesus one and volleyball one. And then the top one is like a reminder. ‘Pray more, worry less.’ Matthew 6:34…I like the dinosaur one but it’s a little faded. But I got it freshman year, so it’s nostalgic and I got it from my friend.”
AVÉ REYNA ACOSTA
“Kuromi’s my favorite Sanrio character. That’s why she’s all over my bottle, because she’s the only Sanrio character that they actually make stuff up that’s just darker and I love her for that,” sophomore Avé Reyna Acosta said. “And Powerpuff Girls is one of my biggest shows I loved watching with my sisters growing up. So, when I got the sticker of Mojo Dojo, the gorilla guy, that was the first one I put on my bottle because he’s my favorite villain and I feel like he’s overlooked a lot.”
ADDISON LE
“I have this milk sticker because I love dairy products, and I have a lot of bookish stickers,” junior Addison Le said. “I’m also in a lot of clubs and organizations. I have stickers for those, like the French Club. I also have one that has my name on it in case I lose my water bottle.”
