Thank you friend!! I worked really hard to make my study/plant room and place that really embodies me 🫶🏻

### StapeliaSaidWhat commented on 2026-10-19

Same here! 😅💚✊🏼

We got this!!

You just gave me hope for grad school thanks

#### Gianna replied on 2026-10-20

Honestly never thought I’d further my education because I love learning but hate going to class… but we’re doing it!!! I believe in you (:

Grad school be that way. Don't let it get you down. It's a slog, the most absolutely awful delayed-reward grind. Plants have actually helped me a lot during the hardest part. You got this; you'll get through it one new leaf at a time 🖤

#### Gianna replied on 2026-10-20

Needed this tbh, thanks my love!!

### Tee Jay commented on 2026-10-20

I lost about 25% of my collection during grad school 😬 still not recovered. Not sure that I ever will now that I have a different job. Good luck!

#### Gianna replied on 2026-10-23

Thank you!!!

### Tracy Lee commented on 2026-10-20

What a peaceful room!! I’d do grad school in that room 😂😂 it’s beautiful! 💚💚

#### Gianna replied on 2026-10-20

Thank you! It really is my happy place, I call it my babe cave 😌
