You know that plant you roommate has in the dorm, the one with the really broad leaves? Yea, use that, or you can bring in your own leaves from outside, just make sure they are not red, shiny or three per branch. You can also use old term papers, assignments etc. from those classes you didn’t do Super Smash Bros: Brawl Ruins 4.) well in last semester.
