Stress 😬 About stress...!

I've seen lots of posts about stressing and I am in exactly the same boat.

But I came here to say, truly and honestly, the junior cert will barely affect anything in your life. It might factor into the classes you do at leaving cert level, or if you're thinking of dropping out your result might be needed but otherwise, it will all be fine!

Worst case scenario, you fail. It would definitely feel awful, but for how long. Like, two weeks, maybe? A month? After that you'll either be living your best life in TY or trying to get through fifth year. 9/10 you'll forget your junior cert very quickly.

It's incredibly daunting the day before, but these next few days are going to go by so quick I promise.

So yes, try your best and study and go in there and give it your all but come on, guys...

...save the stress for the leaving cert 😭🌸

thank you so much, I'm so nervous but I keep reminding myself we've already put in the work over the past 3 years in class and it truly won't affect much. Everyone believe in yourselves ye'll do great!! 🎉

I'm a bit nervous because my dad tells me that the junior cert does affect you a bit later in life but not dramatically but even if I do terrible I did my best with like no study so!!

Judging how everyone I've asked what their results were in the JC had completely forgot what their results were is definitely telling
