I was quite anxious because my friend is never late. I half expected her to be there before me. When I didn’t see her, I was very surprised. She arrived, ten minutes later in a whirl of confusion. Apparently she forgot that we were hanging out. I was kind of hurt, but then I found that she had a history of forgetting almost everything.
I know that I used to be like that, but then I found something that has really helped me keep my life organized. As a student, there are many things that you need to keep in mind. You need to remember when to go to class, when to go to work, who you promised you would hang out with, study groups, and many other things. It is hard to keep them organized and ever to remember them. Some students think that the only way to stay organized is with paper calendars. They don’t want to lug them around because they are heavy and sometimes they get lost. This is when I found the awesome Google calendar. It has completely revolutionized the way that I keep track of what I need to do.
Here is the awesomeness of what is google calendars does. On the right, there is the option of creating many different calendars for different things. You can have calendars for school, work, and social activities. It is nice because you can also color code the calendars, so you can tell the difference of each activity.
There is also the option of sharing calendars with friends, so you can see when they are available. And when you are creating events, you have the option of inviting your friends to There are also ways to have your calendar show up, look on the settings toolbar and you can completely customize your calendar. I was even able to put a picture of my family as the background!
Another nice option about the calendars is that you can set reminders. The can remind you an hour before an event, or even days before. You can have the reminders sent to you via email, text or as a pop up. There’s no way that you can forget anything ever again!
This calendar will help you become more organized. You will have time for everything that you plan for. Instead of telling someone that you have “penned them in”, you’ll tell them that they are on the Google calendar. As long as it’s in the Google calendar, it will be accomplished!
