Candles were lit, results are out and Twitter is all OVER the Leaving Cert
If you've just surfaced and have no idea what's taking place around the country right now, thousands of Leaving Cert students have officially taken one giant step into the next stage of their lives.
And social media has been on hand to give a play by play of the big event.
As anxious 6th years waited to hear how they performed in their exams, mammies lit candles, grannies said prayers, and Twitter had an absolute field day.
From secondary school students who had had enough of LC talk to randomers recalling their own results day, there was a reason why #LeavingCertResults was trending online today.
And whether you're currently re-calculating your points or simply remembering your own results days, these tweets will ring a bell with EVERYONE.
Take it away, Twitter.
