If someone puts in a "birthday" or a "pick up the dry cleaning" reminder in their calendar as an all-day event, to those who are using the Scheduler, it will look like the person is busy for the day and in reality they may have the day open.

Take an etiquette class. Many universities or even local business groups will offer etiquette classes, which many college kids dont even consider until theyre seniors and realize their manners border on the ape-like. Take a class your freshman year and then practice what youve learned for the rest of your college career.
