STRESSED-OUT! HOW TO BE A STRESSWINNER IN UNIVERSITY & COLLEGE $9.95 108 pages Student years after high school can be a lot of fun, but they are also one of the most stressful and demanding stages of life.

Some are the same as those you’ll face once you start full time work: family and relationship problems. But in college or university there are likely to be extra problems: • If you just left high school—it's a dramatic change. The work isn't necessarily harder but there's more of it. You have to make friends, have relationships, and become more independent in every way because nobody is keeping tabs on you or doing things for you. • There's worry about whether you’re in the right course. Have you picked the right career? Will there will be a job at the end of school? • If you've been out of school for some time, you face added stress - being uncertain about your academic ability, your memory and study skills. • You may be paying for your own education, and money can be a huge worry which may overshadow all the others. • There’s the risk that you may not be able to finish the course if you lose that part time job. • There are travel and accommodation problems Do you often feel 'on edge', your heart pounding, feeling that you can’t get enough air, neck muscles tight, feeling tired all the time?
