How to make a calendar

enter image description here

As a homework assignment, I need to recreate this screenshot with pure code. I currently got stuck with making the calendar. When I tried to make mine for some reason I can't get the numerical days under the day itself. As you can see there are seven days in a row but 8 numerical days in a row. How could I fix this enter image description here enter image description here

What changes do I need to make on my code to fix it This is the HTML code:

<h2>Calendar</h2>

<p class="october">October 2017</p>
<ul class="weekdays">
  <li>M</li>
  <li>T</li>
  <li>W</li>
  <li>T</li>
  <li>F</li>
  <li>S</li>
  <li>S</li>
</ul>

<ul class="days">
  <li>1</li>
  <li>2</li>
  <li>3</li>
  <li>4</li>
  <li>5</li>
  <li>6</li>
  <li>7</li>
  <li>8</li>
  <li>9</li>
  <li><span class="active">10</span></li>
  <li>11</li>
  <li>12</li>
  <li>13</li>
  <li>14</li>
  <li>15</li>
  <li>16</li>
  <li>17</li>
  <li>18</li>
  <li>19</li>
  <li>20</li>
  <li>21</li>
  <li>22</li>
  <li>23</li>
  <li>24</li>
  <li>25</li>
  <li>26</li>
  <li>27</li>
  <li>28</li>
  <li>29</li>
  <li>30</li>
  <li>31</li>
</ul>

And my CSS code:

/* Calendar */
.october{
  text-align: center;
}
.weekdays {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 10px 0;
    background-color: #cccccc;
    text-align: center;
}

.weekdays li {
    display: inline-block;
    color: #ffffff;
    width: 10%;
    text-align: center;
}

.days {
    text-align: center;
    padding: 10px 0;
    background: #eee;
    margin: 0;
}

.days li {
    list-style-type: none;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 10%;
    text-align: center;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    font-size:12px;
    color: #777;
}

.days li .active {
    color: #3c8cd7 !important
}

P.S. I'm not completely done with everything else that's why it still looks sloppy

For your purposes you could use an html table like so:

See live: Codepen

This will solve the placement issues of the numbers and align them with the days. Ill leave the color styling to you since its not what you stated was your problem.

 <table>
    <tr>
    <th>M</th>
    <th>T</th>
    <th>W</th>
    <th>T</th>
    <th>F</th>
    <th>S</th>
    <th>S</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>4</td>
    <td>5</td>
    <td>6</td>
    <td>7</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>8</td>
    <td>9</td>
    <td>10</td>
    <td>11</td>
    <td>12</td>
    <td>13</td>
    <td>14<br></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>15</td>
    <td>16</td>
    <td>17</td>
    <td>18</td>
    <td>19</td>
    <td>20</td>
    <td>21</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>22</td>
    <td>23</td>
    <td>24</td>
    <td>25</td>
    <td>26</td>
    <td>27<br></td>
    <td>28</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>29</td>
    <td>30</td>
    <td>31</td>
    <td></td>
    <td></td>
    <td></td>
    <td></td>
  </tr>
</table>
