Leaving Cert Year

The Leaving Cert 👏🏼

Jesus where to start with this blog is a mystery.

We all thought we'd run through this year not a bother but jesus lads the stress that's attached to the Lc is mad!
Yeah I understand that the LCs needed for us to get into college to get a degree in whatever area of life we wanna go into but fuck! The teachers just pile pressure on not realising how hard it is to deal with study so they pile on homework and assignments. I find it mad we're all nearly out of this place, nearly onto deciding what we're gonna do for the rest of our lives, we've no clue of how to fill in important forms and stuff we need for the rest of life but hey the Mitochondria is the power house of the cell, we can tell you about Sylvia Plaths poems and the dark imagery attached to them, we can draw Italys outline and we can have a full blown conversation with you while also texting in our lunch orders or looking at memes on Fb. We also know how to write a 4 page essay in about 30 minutes
The Lc is a game of who can remeber the most irrelevant bullshit ever. Sure some bits will help in college but jaysus we've no clue about how to fill in tax forms an all the stuff were gonna need in later life.
6th years great craic all the same so many memories are made, laughs are shared, , relationships made and broken, friendships tested. Everything's a test even when you don't realise it.
It's testing how much sleep you can go without and what excuse you can give your parents to go out the weekend (for some of us)

Between trying to study for tests, find debs dates, go to matches debates and have some bit of a decent social life you'd be wrecked.
The teachers just expect us to be able to handle it all which I understand caus nextt year in college have no one pushing us on Yano? But jaysus I love the days we have free classes or talks that take up 3 classes especially if there the ones you've tests in
6th year is the year you figure out who your friends are, who you'll talk to after school and who you can't wait to unfriend on Facebook

It's the year we all have a love hate relationship with, we detest our timetable, and do anything we can to get out of class and count down the minutes of every class and the time till lunch and 3:40.
We're nearly out of here lads, few more months and we're on to bigger and better places!
Just keep the work up, have the craic, go out the odd weekend and don't get stressed out.
Everything will work out in the end

Thanks for reading
