Get those candles at the ready…
The day is upon us, Leaving Cert 2018 is here with the standard English Paper 1 and Home Economics kicking things off.
Anyone who has been through the secondary school system in Ireland will know what it means.
Seriously though, there’s no need to panic. For those sitting it, be calm. For those who have already completed it and are experiencing the yearly “Leaving Cert nightmares”, we’re sorry for you.
As is the case before the start of every big event these says, Twitter is a hive of discussion the topic,with plenty of sound advice, plenty of lessons from people who’ve been there and lived to tell the tale and some light humour that will raise a smile from even the most nervous of students.
Firstly, the good advice.
❤️❤️ For those doing the Leaving Cert:
1.Don’t stress, life will go on
2.Chill in the evenings don’t mull over the exam
3.Switch off your phone, less distractions the better.
4.Don’t take more then 2 berocca as you’ll shit yourself during the exam ❤️❤️ #LeavingCert— Senan Byrne (@SenanByrne) June 5, 2018
The practical advice.
You don’t need points for the bog #LeavingCert

The standard, “there’s more to life than the LC” tweet.
Best of luck to all students starting exams tomorrow. Please remember they are only exams, they won't define you! Do your best and if that isn't good enough then at least you tried. There's more to life than exams. #DontStress #Exams2018 #leavingcert

The not-so-standard, “there’s more to life than the LC” tweet.
If you're doing the #LeavingCert keep in mind that I missed Guns N Roses at Slane in 1992 because according to my folks it was too close to my L.C. The bitterness has simmered within me ever since and I still cry myself to sleep at night. So, everything in perspective guys.

Worth thinking about.
Remember #LeavingCert students.
This time in 2 weeks you will never have to ask someone for permission to go for a piss, again. #leavingcert2018

If you haven’t all of these, forget about it…

Hmmmm…
To all the 6th years doing exams, if we all do the bare minimum, the mean result will work in our favour #leavingcert #leavingcert2018

It was supposed to be Seamus Heaney and Sylvia Plath the year I did it. Neither came up. I’m not bitter about it though…

Only history jocks will understand.
The jump from jc history to lc history is mad. How can u go from 1 pg essay about Columbus to a 8 pg essay about how The treaty was controversial. It’s like telling a child to jump in a pool then telling them to jump into a sea full of sharks. #LeavingCert

Definitely the best way to look at things.
