Are you lazy? A procrastinator? Just haven't gotten in the holiday spirit yet? No worries! These quick and easy Pinterest decorating ideas will get your house looking festive in no time.

1. Window Ornaments

Get some simple ornaments and tie them to either ribbon or fishing line. Attach that to some garland and hang it across the window. It's a cute and easy to way to decorate your windows.

2. Door Snowman

Use construction paper to cut out some circles and a large triangle. Then use wrapping paper to make a scarf. Attach everything with tape or another adhesive that can be easily removed.

3. Glitter Tree Jars

The pictures kind of say it all. You could use different colors to mix it up!

4. Candle Holders

Stuff some ornaments under a few wine glasses. Place candles on top. It's literally that easy, and you can color-code however you want.

5. Giant Wrapped Peppermint

Again, the pictures are pretty self-explanatory. Just get a paper plate and color it with a red marker to look like a peppermint. Then cover it with a transparent sandwich bag and tie the ends with some ribbon. You could also tape these to stakes to stick in your yard!

6. Giant Presents on the Wall

Wrap some pizza boxes, put a bow on them, and hang those bad boys up!

7. Christmas Tree Napkins

If you want to decorate your dinner plates, this is an awesome idea! Simply follow the steps above to make a Christmas tree napkin. This is sure to impress your guests.

8. Glow Jars

This might not scream holiday, but it's a great way to light up your house a little! Pick any color(s) glow paint and make little dots on the outside of some jars. It might look cool to fill the jars with cotton balls to look like a little jar of snow and make it more winter-themed.

9. Popsicle Stick Christmas Trees

Popsicle sticks and glue are the essentials for this craft, but feel free to use some tinsel, paper, cotton balls, and more to decorate!

10. Vegetable Christmas Tree

Not really a decorating idea, but this is a way to make your veggie tray a little more exciting. The food used in the picture above are yellow peppers, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, pretzels, and cauliflower. If you don't like one (or any) of these, switch them for whatever you and your family like, and play around with different designs!

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.
