You're all moved into your new loft and have it perfectly decorated. But you take a step back and feel like something is missing. Why not bring some of the outdoors indoors? If you think you lack the proverbial green thumb, here is a simple guide to indoor plants for your loft. There are many good reasons to add indoor plant life to your decor. First, they add a pleasing aesthetic effect. This is even more true in the winter when outside can be so dreary. Some plants, such as the Chinese evergreen and peace lily, have been proven to act as air purifiers. This is in addition to simply improving the air quality by turning carbon dioxide into oxygen. Cleaner air means better brain function.
There have also been studies showing that looking at nature creates a reduction in stress and has a calming and relaxing effect. This in turn can cause an increase in memory retention and concentration. What university student wouldn't want nature's help in producing higher quality work? Plant life can also have a positive effect on your mental health. Beautiful landscapes are associated with a higher quality of life. Observing the beauty of nature can help you have a positive outlook on life. Braided Ficus Tree - because of our high ceilings and spacious interiors, these trees are a perfect fit. Only needing water every 2-3 days, it will live happily in the corner of a room with a window for some indirect sunlight. Cacti - one of the easiest indoor plants to care for, they come in many shapes and sizes. Keep them in a window for plenty of sunlight to get through and do not water until the pot is dry. Succulent - the perfect plant for a beginner, they are practically indestructible. They need indirect sunlight and because they store water similar to the cacti, you only need to water them once every other month.
Be intentional about making friends who share the same interests and values. Your friends become your family, so choose friends who will help and support you, but who will be fun to hang out with too. Organize your time. There's no one to tell you what to do and when, so get a day planner or use your phone to make a schedule. Between classes, studying, work, and meetings, you need to be organized to be successful.
Make healthy choices. There's also no one looking over your shoulder making sure you don't eat candy bars for breakfast each morning. Take the initiative to eat a balanced diet and exercise. Try to get a good night's sleep on a regular basis. University students have a lot of stress, and these actions will help you stay healthy. Make a budget and stick to it. Every student's financial situation is different, but write down all your expenses and come up with a plan to manage your money. Make time for fun. Schoolwork can easily take over your life, but try to find a balance. Plan fun breaks such as watching a movie, gaming with friends, or playing sports.
