Enter 'Leaving Cert' in the Google search box, and the top suggestions you get are:

'Leaving cert timetable'

'Leaving cert points'

'Leaving cert points calculator'

'Leaving cert biology'

No mention of surviving the Leaving, changing it, getting rid of it, or anything of the likes. At the end of the day, people know it (meaning their future) all boils down to points. Results. Standardised notions of 'success.'

What do you think about this? Comment below if you've got something to say.

To keep your peace of mind amongst the chaos (like our beloved Homie above), be sure to check out some top exam/ studying/ procrastinating SpunOut articles, many written by young people who have survived and thrived the Leaving.

Best wishes and remember, life goes on after the Leaving, irregardless of points.
