Why calendars are awesome

So, another year is almost over and new year is approaching. 2014.
A new year means a few things for me: new start, new goals and a new calendar.

Let's get one thing straight: calendars RULE!
I've always loved shopping for/receiving calendars around the end of December. Everything about a fresh, new calendar excites me, and here's why!

There are so many themes

Up until last year, I've always stuck with the island-themed calendars. They kept me dreaming of paradise even I was x-ing off another day while wrapped in a scarf and coat. My 2014 calendar, which I'm super excited to hang up on my wall, is the Sock Monkey Kama Sutra Calendar. If that's not exactly your style, there are calendars geared toward any hobby, animal, place, food, person, TV show, etc. And if those sound boring, check this out, and this, and THIS. You can get 12 months of anything, so don't be afraid to unfold your style!

Stay organized

This one is obvious because calendars, much like planners, keep you organized. I'd be lost without my calendar. It helps me remember my work schedule, my dinner dates and parties. I reply on it to tell me whose birthday it is more than I reply on Facebook.

Seeing how far you've come

Okay, don't judge me, but I have calendars from 2006-2011. Much like a diary, I can use my old calendars to see what I was doing five years and what I was into, like attending embarrassing concerts, just based off of the events I jotted in my calendars.
