As college students, our days are always packed—lectures, club meetings, workouts, part-time jobs, late-night study sessions, and, of course, the constant struggle to get enough sleep. Amid the chaos, our showers became a much-needed escape. It was the one place where time seemed to melt away.
In the shower, we’d dream, mentally organize our to-do lists, dance to whatever music was playing, and think about the friends we had been meaning to catch up with. But what we weren’t thinking about? The water rushing down the drain, the hot water supply running low for our roommates, or how long we’d been standing there.
Like many, we were influenced by TikTok trends and lifestyle products promising to help us improve our habits, but we didn’t want to disrupt our already challenging routines just to make eco-conscious choices. Any solution had to effortlessly fit into our lives without adding more stress. That’s when we realized—we needed something that could make a difference without forcing us to change everything.
And that’s how Aquora was born.
