Today is the day we all dreaded once in our lifetime - leaving cert results day.
As the students, mammies, dads, uncles, aunties and the smug siblings who ‘found themselves in college’ make their way to the schools in droves, people have been taking to Twitter to give them some of their stellar advice.
We use the term ‘stellar adivce’ very loosely.
Now isn't the time to fret over #LeavingCert results. There'll be plenty of time for that when you wake screaming from bad dreams forever.
