8 Things That Are A Cert After Receiving Your Results

So students all over the country have received their results by now (there are those few who put it off until the afternoon in the pure fear of what the outcome is going to be).

It’s the day your school years have led up to, the leaving cert results, the moment you’ve been dreading but are eager to get over with.

Here are the 8 things that are a cert after receiving that A4 brown envelope...

1. Stand confused while you try to calculate your points and think, “why couldn’t they have done this for us?”

2. Dodge the local newspaper and photographer that they have on site to capture all the ‘elated’ students. You don’t want to end up in the paper next week - sure you just jumped out of bed in such a panic you didn’t even brush your hair.

3. You throw your arms around the person next to you. Doesn't matter if it's the Principal, they're getting a hug.

4. Check your Facebook to see what your friends got and find that your entire newsfeed is over-run with leaving cert coverage. You join in on the action by updating your status to an obscene amount of smiley emoticons (or stay offline depending on the results). 

5. Text the lad you fancy to see how he got on and only today is it acceptable to give him an ‘x’ without him thinking to much in to it. It’s a supportive ‘x’ that he’ll appreciate.

6. Return home to either -

a) Burn every piece of paper that has anything resembling a note from your school days on it.

b) Prepare your books for selling online because, you may not have got the greatest of grades, but you’ve got entrepreneurial skills that they can’t teach at school.

7. Speak to your grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbours, parish priest who have all contacted the house to see “how the wee one got on.” Your mother forces you to take every call.

8. Throw your result at your ass, hit the town and never look at them ever again.
