No school year is complete without having a little fun. It can be difficult sometimes to coordinate everyone’s schedules when trying to go out to dinner or do a little clubbing. I have tried various methods - Evite, email, Google Calendar, snail mail, phone calls, etc. to figure out when to schedule a date, but nothing works as well as this option, in my humble opinion.
It does involve a little effort to set up (mainly to make sure the dates are correct), but after that, it’s a breeze! If you plan on doing a lot of socializing or want to plan something more regularly, take the time to do the entire year’s calendars in advance.

Please add any additional tips into the comments - let’s make this a great Google-y-goo resource!
