We remember it like it was yesterday…
With the Leaving Cert starting in Irish schools around the country tomorrow, it’s unsurprising that there’s a lot of discussion online around the topic.
While it’s made to sound like a life and death examination while you’re in your final year in school, the reality is, yes it’s important but if it doesn’t go well for you there’s so many other ways you can pursue the career you want.
It’ll all be grand…
But there’s no denying the pressure that is heaped upon students and many former and current students have been reliving those pressures through social media this evening.

The wise old heads who’ve done it before…
Keep asking for extra paper. You won't need it, but it'll freak everyone else out in the room. #leavingcert
