1. Work and Class Schedule

The first thing you want to do when setting up your college planner. Is putting all the days you have work and class in your weekly schedule.

This way you can visually see if you have plans and be able to rearrange your schedule.

2. Syllabus

4. Events

Also include upcoming events like birthdays and school realeted breaks things so you can have time to plan vacations and call off from work.
