Not sure how old you are but this is great advice. Taking time to work out (run, lift weights, box, do whatever you enjoy) will pay massive dividends in the future.
Also make sure you're in great emotional/mental state. Sleep a lot, enjoy yourself, and get pumped to do whatever you want for a year.
