Do you love it when you come home at the end of the day and there’s someone (or something) waiting and happy to see you? Do you want to be responsible for something without the hassle of it constantly asking for attention? Classes got you down and you just need to succeed in something, even if it is just keeping something other than yourself alive? Do you get a warm fuzzy feeling when you see the color green? If you answered yes to any of these questions you should probably invest in a plant! If you’re not convinced, here are some reasons why you should get a plant during your college career.

They will always be there for you.

Whether you get back to your dorm or apartment at four in the afternoon or four in the morning, your plants will always be there waiting for you. They will give you something to gree’ when you get home and they’re happy green leaves will ‘welcome’ you home.

It will give you something to take care of (other than yourself.)

Having something else to take care of (water, give sunlight etc.) and keep alive is a great way to get you up in the morning. It will also give you a sense of accomplishment when you keep a plant alive for the first time!

Plants actually keep you healthy.

For one, plants produce oxygen using the carbon dioxide that you exhale so the oxygen levels in your room will increase, which is great for your health. Plants will also help you get through your late night studying by improving your concentration and thus your productivity!

Plant are great. They'll keep you motivated, healthy and will even help you fend off that school year loneliness!
