The year was amazing and I wouldn't change a thing :') 

Last IT blog ever.. will forever miss you IT ! 

Love Rebecca

Advice to 3rd years :)

To be honest I don't even know if 3rd years go on the TY blogs, but you never know.. 

So here's my advice to incoming TY heads :) Enjoy it! I know it seems pretty 'original' to say but seriously, if you think your having a terrible year then you will , but if you enjoy every opportunity your giving then you will love it! honestly I made the most of every trip , every fun class, every workshop and every single person!

Like there was some people who skipped trips and said TY was 'pointless' because we don't do anything, but that's not true! this year we did sooo much but just because its not studying or aiming for a big exam doesn't mean the work isn't equally important! 

Seriously, enjoy EVERYTHING inside and out of school, it can honestly be one of the best years of your life :') like I enjoyed everything, because the pressure of exams aren't there it gives you an opportunity to enjoy things in a more chilled out way, it gives you the opportunity to really really enjoy things! 

Every single trip you go on is something that you'll remember! I just honestly can't believe how different I feel after a whole year of TY , you grow up so much in TY suddenly, your ready for responsibility  and you realize your ready for work and how important everything is, like work experience made me realize how I really need to do well in my leaving cert, but also that it's not the only thing that matters, other things are important too :) so I really feel TY gives you great LIFE experience not just sitting down at a desk studying because where will you

 be after school when you get thrown into work if you have no idea what its going to be like? 

TY is a opportunity to start to live in the real life working world but also still have to comfort of being in school :) 

Overall what im saying is, You get from TY what you put in, you've probably heard that so much but its true, we got sick of hearing it too! but every word of it is true :D make your year the best it can be and enjoy every minute of it and it will be the most amazing year you can have ! 

Best of Luck with it , and hope you enjoy it as much as I did because I really did have one of the best years of my life! I really hope other TY's did too , Also love your TY year because your like a family until this time next year so, LOVE THEM! 

Oh no.. its nearly over!

Well here it is, my second last week of TY! :O 
I never actually thought TY would end, like I mean I never wanted it to end:(  This has actually been the most amazing, different, fun, exciting year of my life :') Ty has given me so many opportunities I never thought possible, like i've learned and achieved so much since I came into the year :) 
I may have not been lead in the musical or got into young scientist but I enjoyed the year for what I made of it and as cheesy as it sounds I think that's what matters. I'm going to miss being able to do nothing and not feel guilty about it! I just had so much fun, doing nada :) well things that I enjoyed, so i guess that isnt nada! 
I'm so happy I did it, because its the best feeling being part of that fun enthusiastic year that can have fun and you dont get into trouble for it! everyone is just enjoying life without stress and all and everyones in the same boat :) I wouldn't change a single person from my year, my year has been great because everyone talks to everyone and we all get along so well! NO drama or fights or nothing just great bant between everyone :) 


I think that the trips and bonding sessions between everyone made people grow in confidence and this will help in later years :) so i'm glad to say I did TY because I have achieved so much I never thought i'd do, helps with the old CV ;) 


so i'm off to do a blog on advice for incoming 3rd years :) 
keep reading!

What I Learned about myself in TY :')

Okay this is gonna be a long one so Sorry if I bore you but this is one of those posts ive been wanting to for the year so here I go :) 
I don't notice a massive change in myself since the start of the year, but lets be honest nobody really does notice change in themselves. I've learned that I like to be in control alot..thanks for that mini company! and even when its other peoples job the organise im actually such a control freak over it! Basically I like to lead in situations :) I don't know how i didnt notice this before but I guess all the projects and group work showed me that I like to be in control of situations cause if i'm not in control then I don't think things are going to get done! Even when i missed a day this year I would start to freak out that the other members of my team aren't getting things done, so I suppose I probably prefer working on my own then with groups, although I LOVE to socialize so? :) 


I've learned that I'm a very open person, like I love to let people in and have dmc's :) because I don't know I probably get comfort out of talking to people about things , I've found that through all the things thats being happening in TY that I love to help people! and yeah thats about it , I never thought I was one to get involved and help out but it turns out I am! The musical was a big thing for me to show all my skills, organisation, socializing and just having a good time, since TY started i've actually become so enthusiastic about everything! :) like i've made so many new friends and still kept other ones (: this is great because its the best of both, every trip, new activities and event I have made a new friend and learned something new. 

So I think bullet points is the best way to go with this..
Main things i've learned from TY :) 

• I'm not great with crowds, like standing in front of people singing! not goood..
• Love to talk to new people! 
• Love trying new things
• Being more independent
• Get excited towards more thing! 
• very sociable person
• Pretty good communication skills
• freak out when it comes to change! but eventually get used to it :) 
• Love to brag about how amazing TY is :) 
• good with confrontation..I don't know how I know that but I guess it must be true?
• Love to get things done! 
• Don't do things unless theres pressure on me :O 
• Love to lay back relax and make the most of the spare time I have! 
• Realize how I don't need to be stressed about study and everything all the time :) 
• Love routine (: 

But love organizing things!..


So basically I've loved every minute of TY and i'm so happy I did it because I would of never experienced things that I experienced, Its one of the best things ive ever done! 
...Ultimate cheese ball!
