According to my current Pinterest feed, plants are in. Trending styles revolve around whites, grays, and leafy greens. It's the fresh, clean look we strive to accomplish in the spring that we are now embracing year round. Some of the most common household plants are now just a piece of the puzzle to fit the beautiful aesthetic we desire. Students, though, are sitting at a truly unfortunate disadvantage. Juggling school and work and a social life, sometimes remembering to take care of a plant is just as stressful as having a pet. Well, listed below are a few low

1. The Spider Plant

The Spider plant is known for is low maintenance nature and ability to survive with very little attention. needing to be watered only a little more than once a week, this plan with flourish in an indirect sunlight area like a desk by the window to perfectly match that Pinterest board. This plant also is notorious for eliminating toxic pollutants from the air. A clean room leads to a clear mind, a true necessity for a college student.

2. Aloe

The Aloe plant is a true classic. This plant grows relatively fast so as long as it is placed in a pot suitable to its size and watered around once a week, it is an absolute crowd pleaser. This plant is also known for its ability to remove unwanted variants from the air we breathe and provides additional medicinal values as well. Aloe vera, the green, gooey gunk found inside each thick leaf, is used for a variety of things such as soothing burns, reducing itching, and speeding up metabolism if eaten.

3. The Snake plant

The Snake plant prefers a little less sun and a little more water but they look great and they are almost impossible to kill. The perfect aesthetic piece if paired with a cute pot in a lonely, empty corner.

4. A Cactus

According to Feng Shui, cactus plans should not be placed inside a bedroom but a rather in a bathroom. Cacti require extraordinarily little maintenance and are quite trendy in today's top styles. Although these plants look cute on a doorstep or window cill they have specific places where they should go within a home to extract the correct levels of energy from them. The bathroom is said to be a place of negative chi and a cactus there can neutralize that energy bringing your home back to perfect harmony.

5. Air Plants

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May.
