My Villain Arc

I was knee deep in bringing my water bottle to life—drowning in an overflow of tariffs, supply chain meltdowns, and general global instability. So, naturally, I called up my old college advisor for help.

She didn’t help—but she did toss me a life raft.
She pitched me on pitching in a pitch competition.
But not just any pitch competition.

The same one I’d entered all four years of college:

• Freshman year: rejected.

• Sophomore year: rejected.

• Junior year: still nope.

• Senior year: finally made it to the finals…
  … and got second place.

and I never truly recovered from that egregious robbery back in 2022.

This time around? I entered as an alumni.

My reasons:

☑ Networking
☑ CA$H
☑ Vengeance-fueled personal closure

The Results:

- I won.

- Got my Revenge.

• Easier to clean

• Includes the spout cover(s) we talked about in the last update

I’m really excited about this version.
