19 Tweets That Sum Up How We All Felt Before Sitting The Leaving Cert

The heatwave has come and gone, and that can only mean one thing: the Irish State Examinations are kicking off in the morning. This got us reminiscing about when we did our Leaving Cert exams - thinking back on the stress, the comfort eating, the cramming, the apathy, the denial, and the sheer desperation of it all.
