#BeGrand trends in Ireland as country tells students it will all be ok

It’s not the end of the world. Honestly.

ONLY IF YOU have a cold dead heart will you fail to feel some compassion for Junior and Leaving Cert students this morning.

Remember the fear, the smells, the endless papers stretching out in front of you?

To offer a little solace #BeGrand has been trending on Twitter in Ireland since last night, with those who’ve been through it offering advice and good wishes, and those going through it accepting their fate.

There are the comforting ones

Good luck to everyone starting exams tomorrow, its not as bad as people say it is #begrand
