Publisher's Synopsis
At times the media creates too much hype about the final year. Michael Carr-Greg believes that it is vital for both parents and students to place this year in the context of life. While not underestimating the importance of the final year, it is crucial to stress to young people that it is not the most important trial of their lives. The reality is, that it is just another stage in the career of students.;Students must be focused, disciplined and work hard but they must also have to understand that they are still part of a unit of other people and should not have to be entering some kind of monastic existence that takes them away from their normal responsibilities. Getting the most out of the final year is more about attitude and planning than anything else. This guide provides strategies for retaining a balance between work and recreation, staying healthy throughout the year, and sleeping and eating well.
