It's a much-debated topic: can plus-sized women be attractive? And I'm here to tell you NO, they can't!
I mean, look at them!
Who do they think they are?
Wearing clothes that flatter their lovely figures.
Or dressing casually.
How dare they keep up with current fashion trends?
Or smile?
Ugh, it makes me sick.
Go be amazing somewhere else.
1. BAKE ALL OF THE COOKIES
Every year since I was a little girl, my mom and I would bake cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. Here's a link to some awesome cookie recipes!
2. Make Gingerbread houses
This is a personal favorite of mine. My grandmother used to buy the standard Gingerbread kits but we would make our own icing and use our favorite candy as decoration. Of course, I would always end up eating a window or part of the roof off later when she wasn't looking (hehe).
3. Hallmark Ornaments
Okay, so I have to explain this one a little bit. There's a Christmas tree in my house dedicated specifically towards me. The ornaments are from my parents childhood, as well as mine. Every year my mom has bought 3-4 Hallmark Christmas ornaments of my choosing to add to the tree. It's really funny, because you can tell how old I was each year from the type of ornaments I would pick out (let's just say Barbie Princess was a big hit from 2000-2005ish).

4. Watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
It's my dad's favorite Christmas movie! This 1964 classic has been a hit in the James family for literally over 50 years. Honestly if you haven't seen this movie, I don't know how you could possibly have Christmas.
5. Christmas Eve Family Dinner
After the Christmas service at church, my family always comes over to my house to have a Christmas Eve dinner. We spend this time just enjoying each other, opening one present before Santa comes, and enjoying the true meaning of Christmas.

Although these traditions may not seem the most original, they mean a lot to me and Christmas wouldn't be the same to me without them. After all, Christmas isn't about how many presents you get or the long break you get from school. Christmas is about celebrating the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and giving back to others. Merry Christmas everyone, and a Happy New Year.!
1. Get to the library early. Everyone knows that if you roll up to the library in the late afternoon, there will be no tables available. Wake up early and get there before 10 a.m. This ensures you have all day to study and if you're lucky, you might be able to leave before midnight.
2. Don’t forget your books. Double check to make sure that you aren’t forgetting the books you need to study for your tests. Having to get up and go the library is tough enough, but realizing that you forgot your Biology book at home makes it even worse. Hopefully you either live close or have nice roommates that might bring it to you.
3. Snacks snacks snacks. The best part about finals week is being able to eat any food as a reward for going to the library. Pack snacks that won’t cause everyone to glare at you for the loud crunching noise that you’re making.

4. Bring extra note cards. Don’t underestimate the number of notecards you will need because chances are you will use twice the amount of what you expected. Also, if you leave the library to get more, you probably won’t come back.
5. Make sure you have both your laptop charger and phone charger. Considering that you will most likely be there all day, you wouldn’t want to run out of power on any of your electronic devices.

6. Go with friends. Make it a roommate outing but make sure they won’t be too distracting.

7. Make a schedule. Plan on studying for each subject for a certain amount of time. Switching subjects every so often keeps your brain interested and prevents you from dozing off.
8. Have some kind of motivation. Whether it is a lunch break or thinking about something fun that you are doing over break, keep that motivation in mind to get you through the rough patches of studying.

9. Coffee. Caffeine will give you the energy you need to get through the next couple of days but be careful with this one—too much coffee may result in you bouncing off the walls and messing around.

10. Make a playlist. Everyone listens to music while they study. Make a custom "Finals" playlist that will keep you focused and eager to hear the next song.
These 10 tips will help get you through the week while ensuring some sort of motivation. Good luck and keep your head up.
