It's easy to become flippant about the Leaving Cert after you've done it, but today is a seriously big day in the lives of thousands of our country's young people, and we think it's time to set the snarky, weather-related posts aside in order to remember that.

Anyone who has sat their Leaving Cert will remember the gnawing feeling that stopped you from sleeping the night before that first exam and the relief that flooded your body when your chosen poet actually appeared on English Paper 2.

Nerves mixed with anticipation coupled with a feeling of excitement that the end was very nearly in sight are the abiding memories of the Leaving Cert here at SHEmazing! HQ, and it looks like the good folk of Ireland know EXACTLY what we're talking about.

Sharing the love on Twitter today, dozens of our incredibly sound countrymen have reached out to this year's LC students, and it is FEELS central.
