other planters just like me

i love plants. i take care of them as though most people would take care of a child. my plants are my children. i get sad when they die and are super pumped when they grow. i even find sitters to take care of them when i am gone. my roommate can attest to this- when i went to north carolina for the summer, i gave her my three plants to water and love over the summer. now, i love my roommate, more than anything, but she does not have the same passion for plants as i do. only one survived. needless to say, she tried. we are still getting along, and i keep the plants in my own room, under my supervision.

i attended the student organization fair to learn about all the amazing things my campus has to offer, and i found a club for horticulture. this deals with plants, how to groom (?!?!!) them, take care of them, growing them in general. i love these things, so i picked up a flyer and decided to attend this evening. i went there and found, so my surprise, over 40 individuals waiting. again, there was free food and drinks. probably the reason most people showed up, but we talked about the 'goals' and what the club does.

they grow plants, take field trips to plant farms, have plant speakers come in. now my major is nursing, or that's what i intend it to be, but i have a passion for plants, and i am excited for the prospect of being able to hang out with an extremely 'different' group of people who also have a passion for plants. wahoo college!! there's truly something for everyone.
