When shopping for an academic planner, do take a look at the following:
- Does it have a decent cover? It should either be hardcover or softcover with a plastic cover protecting the planner.
- Is it dated? Don’t settle for an undated planner. You don’t want to have to date every page in the year when you could be meeting your friends or making new ones.
- Is there room for notes, addresses, to do lists? If you don’t have that in your planner, you will have to find some other way to keep those together. I strongly recommend buying one that DOES have room for all that.
But yes, of course, you do want your organizer to look good. What use is an agenda book you’d be ashamed to use in front of your friends? Which is why I selected two cute blue (and blue-green) planners.
