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!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
