Rosemary, Basil, Chives, Mint

If you love herbs as much as I do and want to try to grow your own, especially if you have limited space or a black thumb, this is the way to go.

Add some rocks for drainage.

Growing Herbs in Jars

What you need:

Mason jars (I used these wide mouth quart size ones.)
Organic potting soil 
Choice of herbs (I found potted organic herbs in the grocery store.)
Small rocks/pebbles (I bought mine at World Market, but you can also find them on Amazon or in maybe even in your yard.)

How to make:

Fill bottom of mason jars with rocks or pebbles, allowing at least an inch of rocks for water drainage. Add soil, leaving room for herb roots. Remove herbs from container. With your hand, gently loosen the soil surrounding the roots and place in the jar, adding more soil as necessary to cover the roots. (You could also try planting seedlings or seeds directly in the jars.) Water and place in a sunny window or other sunny location. You can also use some tape or other material to label the herbs if you'd like.

Back to School, Texas A&M Survival Tips from The Arbors at Wolf Pen Creek Apartments in College Station

 Do not buy your books at the bookstore! It’s a complete rip-off and should be a last resort. Try Amazon or rent them through Chegg.

 Don’t stress out if you don’t know what you are going to do with your life after you graduate. Lots of people have no idea and they’ve been out of school for years! Just do your best where you are and keep an open mind, you never know where life may lead you.

 Take a web development class of some sort. Learn how to use HTML or utilize SEO. This information is valuable on a personal and professional level.

 Back up your computer and save CONSTANTLY! There is nothing worse than being a page away from done with a 15-page paper and… there goes your sanity. It would also be horrible to lose all your college photos.

 Don’t put your whole life on Facebook. Use discretion, no matter how private your profile settings, whats out there is out there.

 Go to your classes. You’re paying for the things. In the future, you’ll have to actively carve out time to pursue intellectual undertakings. It sucks. Learn it up, baby!

 Learn to prioritize. This probably the most valuable human skill, ever. Delegate your time according to your priorities (keeping your scholarship, sleep, partying, dating…) Train your brain to be a top notch decision maker.

 Build meaningful relationships with significant people. Don’t dwell on mishaps with the failing guy that’s mad you couldn’t come out last night because you had a midterm today. He’ll probably reemerge being jobless and 20 pounds heavier. Instead, make friends with the straight A students and professors. Adulthood is all about who you know.

 Do your best not to rack up the student loans. Be smart and don’t start your adult life in a huge hole.

 Last but most certainly not least, call your family once in a while.
