For the day that's in it, leaving cert results day. If you could go back and tell yourself something on the day, what would it be

Get more drunk. You weren't drunk enough.

Did I hear correctly on the radio- can students view their corrected exam papers nowadays?

Don't bother going up to collect your results cos they're crap.

Grow the fcuk up, you were a bit too immature to go to college straight away at 18.

Honestly, the girl I was with on the day of mine is now a lesbian. Think that pretty much sums up my life since then and so perhaps I'd just high five myself. In fairness, I was very androgynous looking back then, long blonde hair, wore tight jeans etc and so I think (what it being the early 90s and homophobia was the order of the day) it was a way for her to be with a woman without actually being with one. In my defence I was a huge Aerosmith fan.

My little sister got her results, she did very well.

Jesus! I was an october birthday (still am!) but repeated and was 17, turning 18, when I left home for uni. Cant imagine doing that a year earlier...was too immature.

Been like that for years, if you want to appeal a result you can view the paper.

You made a balls of the Accounting exam, it's called choking, so you should be happy with the overall results. You also made a hash of Honours Irish but you knew that all along. You shouldn't be surprised.

You'll get your course next week so no worries. Just about as it's competitive. Think about Damien. He'll miss the course by 5 points and will repeat. Consider yourself lucky. You dodged a bullet.

Stop trying to be so bloody perfect. You got what you wanted but still you're moping around like you've suffered an injustice.

Suck it up you spacer. 29 people killed in Omagh last Saturday and there you are acting like a spoiled brat. You need a reality check mate.

Being 16 for the first month of 1st year is not fun.
Being 17 for the rest of the year is a bigger hindrance than you realize.
That ID card is incredibly amateur.
Take a gap year.

Misty Chaos

Even at 19, you're too young and not in the right head space to be going to college. You'll get the course you want next year ( after doing that PLC course ) but it's going to be full of tossers who'll drive you nuts and talk sh** about you behind your back.

It's going to take you going away to Australia for 2 years in mid to late 20s to help sort your head space out and you'll come back a different person. You're going to feel like a waster for most of your 20s but you'll start sorting yourself out eventually.

Finally, the only result you'll be disappointed by is with your English but you'll be generally happy with the rest.

Leogirl

Repeat the exams!! You did well with no effort+ you could have done a lot better. Few extra points would have changed everything. Telling myself taking a year out was one stupid mistake.

wendell borton

WTF is an E grade.:(

Pherekydes

Well done, you. Your classmates are all sweating over their results while you're in the army earning a wage and learning a trade.

Christy42

Double check the bloody course requirements for all of your choices. It is lower for your second choice than you thought on the day and you scrape in, not making your first choice was a complete blessing leading you to some awesome friends. No need to panic realising you didn't put any consideration to any course choice past the 3rd.

You were cocky and arrogant in making your choices and with doing the exams but you got away with it by the skin of your teeth. It will be a useful lesson to you that was so badly needed.

I got a few of those too, it's just a stab in the dark but I'm guessing: F = Fantastic, E = Excellent, D = Distinguished ect. Let me know if you figure it out.

Someone got 9 A1s. Nine. Fucking A1s.

Why?

Don't waste time with college, go out & get yourself a trade.

and why do the media need to broadcast the top result every year and rub all the other kids faces in it:D

Don't bother going out drinking after the results. It's the last time you'll see or hear from that gang. Way more fun times ahead

One of my friends got 9 A1s and a load of interviewers were over asking him questions. He told a load of lies about a work/life balance being important after spending the full year inside studying. We also had a good laugh when the papers came out and none used a photo of him, some of the people who got 8 A1s were photogenic girls so they got pictured instead.

Never figured out why he did 9, it wasn't like he was hedging his bets in case a few went wrong.

On noes, it's going to be puke-tasic over the next few nights with the L plate drinkers out.

The richest man in Ireland, Legally Blonde himself, failed leaving certificate maths ... twice !

So cheer up, sons and daughters of Eire

If you didn't do well, there's probably somebody you can sue.

chrissb8

Don't worry about your friends and this next step in life they're taking it's not like the movies where everyone goes off to college about half your year will drop out or change courses or even do something entirely different after college.

You're not dumb you just didn't apply yourself and that's ok. You went from playing football and drinking with your friends to being asked to make a big life decision. That will all come later when you have properly thought about it. So take your time you're young.

I repeated at 20 so for that day when I got results I would say well done now go enjoy the next couple of years.

my teapot is orange

You don't want to do this course, but you have the points for the one you really want, which you will enjoy more (even though others are convinced you won't) and which has better prospects. Know your own mind. Work for a year and reapply. Be as assertive as you will be at 30 right now.

ToddyDoody

Don't even bother with a recheck, just repeat. You're not stupid, you just take your time to do things, which repeating will give you.

I acutely think if someone didn't get what they hoped and is upset, let them be upset it is a big deal to them.. all the, in ten years it wont matter, there are other ways of getting in to the course you want and so on is patronising, sometimes people just want understanding not platitude's.

Don't head out for yer 20th because you're gonna have a horrific dose of the scuts and make an absolute tit of yourself trying to play it cool.
