DIY's Your Home Needs During The Holiday Season
Mountain Modern Life

It sort of comes naturally to American's for their love of the holiday seasons. So much time is spent decorating, shopping and even crafting for around the home and for close ones. If you enjoy the holidays and like to keep your spirits up throughout the stressful, yet cheerful months you need to invest in some of these DIYs for your home.

1) Decorative candles

These are for around the whole house as accents. Just something nice to look at though out the house with a holiday spin. You can choose what to put in the water and you can even add burlap rope or a bow for the outside!

2) Stuffed jars for centerpieces or accents

These are for centerpieces or for side tables and even for a window sill. You can stuff the jars with ornaments, bows, Christmas candies and even fake snow!

3) Decorative Christmas trees (yes, besides your big one)

These are for the mantle or other little places like corner shelves and what not. They're good for that area that just needs something when you're sitting there staring at an empty space.

4) Adorable signs with Christmas sayings or symbols.

You can use these for shelf decor or even replacing an old picture frame for the season. You can keep them PG depending on your household or spice it up and make it funny.

5) Personalized Christmas ornaments

These can really show your tree off with your own style. You can pick one theme or make a bunch of different ones and have fun with it. These are the ones you like to show off when company comes over.

6) Simple and sweet door wreaths

This isn't too much but also isn't too little. You may not have enough room for a huge wreath or just don't have the patience for more detail. You can also form other words!

7) A Christmas countdown chalkboard

Everyone needs this just to remind themselves how much close they are to having off of work, being out of school and being around their loved ones. You can jazz it up as much as you want and on whatever you want too because chalkboard paint is easy to put on anything.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
