Most of the ones in the stores are not really cute, but sometimes you can find one when you are out shopping. Your best bet is online. Some companies even make them from a photo you supply.

 I'm going to college and wondering about getting an erasable calendar. Should I?

In college, learning to manage your time is going to be really important. Any tools that work for you are great. A lot of students think that erasable calendars are one of the best ways to stay organized and on top of all the deadlines... not to mention the social events!

Other students prefer using some kind of calendar on their computer. One trouble with that is that if the computer is turned off, you can't see the calendar.

All in all, an erasable calendar is a good tool for college students.  They are often very inexpensive. Don't get one for the current year; get one you can use over and over.
