As usual, summer is flying by. The start of the school year will be here before you know it. What better way to “get back in the swing of things,” than to get organized. Especially for those of you off to college come August. With so much going on in classes and on campus, you want to make sure to plan.

It took me a few weeks freshman year to realize how important it was to manage my time well. One week I’d be overly concerned with one class, or spend too much time socializing, and forget about a quiz or paper due in another class. Starting a five page essay the night before it’s due is no way to go through college. It adds a lot of unnecessary stress. Eventually, I realized that I needed a visual way to keep me on track. Relying only on a daily planner wasn’t enough for me. I needed to see the big picture in order to plan ahead.

The solution: I bought a monthly calendar. Every week, I updated my calendar with new assignments, exams, papers and social events. To save space on my desk, I hung the calendar on the wall, right next to my computer monitor. It was an excellent way for me to organize by day and month. I recommend one to every college student.

Ordering a calendar from Next Day is really easy. Just pick one from our huge selection and have it mailed directly to you! Plus, we ship for free if your order is over $50. For your convenience, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite calendars for you to take a look at:
