| The Ultimate Organizer is the student's counselor, coach and personal secretary - all in one. It is designed to promote student success in all areas of college life.
"The Ultimate Organizer is right on the money; very comprehensive; I would certainly recommend it to students going on to college." "Used diligently, this planner will help your student stay organized for his or her classes and extra-curricular activities. Even if you suspect your child will take notes on the back of a pizza box instead of in a binder, this resource gives your college-bound student a scope of what to expect and how to be prepared." |
Dr. Orenstein will be offering at least two seminars in her Cary office for college-bound students (high school seniors and college students) this summer.
Friday, July 11th--The theme will be "Overcoming Procrastination: Strategies For College Students."
Friday, July 18th --The theme will be "Building Healthy Relationships during your College Years."
Both workshops run from 10am - 1pm. The fee for each is $145.00 (which includes my Ultimate Organizer for College Life). If a student is interested in attending both workshops, the fee is $195.00.
She also offers a $20.00 discount per person when two or more students sign up together.
Helping Students Ease the Transition to College Life:
In America today, college has become the “rite of passage” into adulthood, offering your son or daughter opportunities to take risks, meet new people, develop their minds, and learn more about themselves as independent adults. College-bound students are embarking on a new, exciting journey as they enter their first year of college.
As with any life transition, however, there will be many losses. For many first year college students, the college campus is their first extended experience away from home. These students will have to adjust to leaving friends and family behind, changing their home routine for eating, sleeping, and studying, as well as learning to manage their own behaviors independently.
College students no longer have parents scheduling their appointments, advocating for their needs, or ensuring that they complete assignments. Think about it: practically no commitments or accountability are built into the college experience. For many college students, this extraordinary amount of freedom is accompanied by a loss of identity, a lack of purpose, and too much unstructured time. Students can get lost from this lack of structure and guidance.
Alternately, some students become overly committed in their first year, as they struggle to balance a demanding, heavy course load, many hours on a job, extracurricular activities, and a social life.
Many students are overwhelmed by their new independence and multitude of choices, including:
“How am I going to organize my life now that I’m in college?”
“How will I manage my time and stay focused on what’s most important to me?”
“How can I keep track of my finances and pay bills on time?”
“How can I make sure to have a good relationship with my roommate?”
The College Bound for Success Workshop was designed to help students address this questions. Each student will receive the Ultimate Organizer for College Life resource as a guide.

BALANCE PURPOSE & PLEASURE
