The artifact I chose is my vast assortment of teabags and the relevant paraphernalia. For me, drinking a cup of tea is an activity that can apply to every situation. If I’m sick (with the OSU “plague”), I drink echinacea tea. When I’m up late studying in the winter, I like to brew a cup of chai tea, and I can never start a morning without a hot cup of green tea. Tea is a way for me to keep my health in check as well, and I always feel better after drinking a cup of ginger-turmeric at night! I also use my time spent drinking tea as a time spent checking in with myself; whatever has been bothering me that day, I let myself reflect on it (almost like meditation!).
