Not long now.
We don't know where that school year went, but the 2017 State Exams get underway tomorrow week, June 7th.
If you're not directly affected, chances are, (like us), you're hoping for the traditional 'Costa Del Ireland' during the exam period.
You would know the #leavingcert is close with this weather!

But, we must think of the thousands of students who are enduring stress and panic ahead of English Paper 1 next Wednesday morning.
They're probably:
1. Filled with regret
Why didn't I study? Why didn't I listen in class?
2. Taking a lot of naps
me: I'm going to work hard and study to earn the grades I want!
also me: *takes naps without finishing homework*

3. But probably regretting them instantly.
When you don't wanna study so you take naps...regret it every time.

4. Hoarding an ungodly amount of dishes and cutlery in your room.
Tbh the only real walk of shame is the one where I bring all my dirty dishes from my bedroom back to the kitchen

5. Dreading the pain that you will undoubtedly experience during English Paper 2.

6. There's every chance your Googling a LOT of predictions.
7. You may just be listening to this on repeat to keep you sane
8. You might be worryingly chilled.
My leaving cert is in 11 days and I've never been more laid back about anything in my life

But, be warned.
