Clothes? Check.
Notebooks? Check.
Plants?
You read correctly! Plants in college. Dorm room gardens are the new futons, and there’s no wondering why. Having a small plant or two can reap tremendous benefits for your health, stress levels, and overall state of being.
Responsibility: Humans tend to have more empathy for people and things other than ourselves. It’s not our fault- just human nature. So as humans, let’s embrace this nature in a fresh way! A lot of freshman let themselves go in their first year of college whether it be physical, emotional, or academic. Looking out for a plant may be the inspiration you need to look out for yourself, too.
Health: Spending a lot of time in a closed room in a huge building may not necessarily be providing enough fresh air. Plants are like green purifiers that can lower toxin levels boost oxygen to keep you at your healthiest!
Stress: Use indoor gardening as a hobby to steal away some alone time. It’s a no stress activity that’ll take you to another world away from the studying and craziness of school.
