If you're forgetful like me, then you've probably come back to deceased plants. Trust me, I understand the struggle of watering them, making sure they get sunlight and even dusting them every now and then to keep them looking fresh. However, plants can enliven your puny dorm room and cheer you up if you ever feel down or homesick. That being said, here are three plants to add to your dorm that you won't ever have to mourn over:

1. Aloe Vera

It's unique, it's green and it's beneficial for both your health and skin. You can use it to treat sunburns, or you can add it to your regular skincare regime. Better yet, you can make aloe vera juice that'll improve your digestion and immunity!

2. Cacti

Cacti can fit in with any dorm theme as they come in a variety of shapes and include multi-colored flowers. Just make sure to not touch the prickly needles!

3. Bamboo

They come in different shapes, and they only need a little bit of water every now and then! Bamboo is also thought to bring good luck and would be a great addition to your dorm before exam season ;).

You don't have to live in a gloomy little dorm room as you can create your own green sanctuary to keep you going throughout the semester. #WaystoGetRidofthatCollegeGloom
