A pregnant Chrissy Teigen took to Twitter over the weekend to show off her home-schooling set-up ahead of the new school year and we are in awe!

“Everyone get ready for… Miss Chrissy. Pregnant and here for it (I really have always wanted to be a teacher!” the 34-year-old wrote. In the photos of Chrissy’s at-home preschool there are 2 tables with 4 small chairs around each one, with organised containers of stationary and craft supplies atop each.

The spacious classroom is lined with huge glass windows, showing off the incredible scenic views which surround her and John Legend’s LA home. It features a cozy reading nook, a costume corner, musical instruments, all of the arts and crafts supplies you would need and actual cubbies for hanging up your coat and backpack.

The model and celebrity chef made sure to clarify that she won’t actually be the one doing the teaching though. “We are absolutely bringing in a professional but I’ve got cooking, John’s got music, Grandma has… day-drinking. It will be a great school year,” Chrissy explained.

We think it’s fair to say that Chrissy’s at-home set-up is every school teacher and home-schooling parent’s dream. Chrissy, knowing how lucky she is to create such a wonderful space for her four-year-old daughter, Luna, and two-year-old son, Miles, decided to pay it forward.

“If you are a teacher in need of supplies for the upcoming school year, please drop your amazon wishlist here, I will do as many as I can!” Chrissy tweeted.

The mom-of-two announced that she wants to help as many school teachers as she can, offering to pay for all of their school supplies for the upcoming year, wanting to pay particular attention to struggling districts and students with special needs. 

She revealed, “Today I cleared 50 entire lists and countless extra items were purchased from lovely people passing through. Will do more this week and would love to focus on struggling districts and special needs. Please keep posting in this thread!”.

Chrissy announced her surprise pregnancy with her husband, award-winning singer, John Legend, earlier in the month. It was revealed at the end of John’s latest music video for his song, Wild, where it showed John cradling Chrissy’s small baby bump, on the beach with their two children.

Research from the Higher Education Authority (HEA) has presented results on the graduates who are most likely to find a job after college.

Naturally, we were curious and had to check out the scores. Unsurprisingly, creative work seems fairly sparse *sighs*.

As it turns out, teachers are the most likely to find a job after they graduate, with over 93 percent of recent education grads finding employment within nine months of finishing their course.

The HEA's research found that graduates in areas such as health and welfare (87 percent), ICT (82 percent) and engineering (82 percent) had especially high employment outcomes.

Nearly 80 percent of third-level students secured work within nine months of graduating, which is good news.

The HEA found that students who studied subjects like philosophy and literature were the LEAST likely to be employed…sorry to all those deep thinkers and bookworms out there.

Anyone who completed their arts and humanities studies were actually among the highest percentages who embarked on further study, at 24 percent.

The study involved 29,000 participants who graduated back in 2017, and found that teaching grads are one of the best paid. Their starting salaries mostly came in at €30-€35,000.

The average salary of full-time graduates in employment was €33,574. The HEA's Valerie Harvey said that those who complete further study are the most employable.

She commented on the research, saying that; "The overwhelming majority of all graduates are working and as you move through the levels of educational attainment higher numbers are in employment."

She continued, "So we found that 75 percent of honours degree, 86 percent of post-graduate taught and 91 percent of postgraduate research graduates are in employment."

78 percent of those participants surveyed are working or due to begin a job, and 14 percent of those surveyed are in training or further education.

A further five percent are searching for work, and the remainder are in "further activities", like travelling the world or saving the turtles. Apparently, 90 percent of those who graduate find a job in Ireland. That one surprised us, alright.

This isn't the 23-year-old's first go at Miss Ireland.

Three years ago she came in at third place, which launched her modelling career.

This time around, Aoife's chosen charity to support was Jigsaw in Cork, which aids young people with their mental health.

Taking to Instagram, Aoife penned how surreal the win was.

"I have woken up this morning in total disbelief of what has happened last night. I am so so GRATEFUL for this once in a lifetime opportunity," she said.

Aoife being the good soul she is, shouted out some love to the other woman who took part.

"To all of the beautiful and kind-hearted contestants, you have made this journey to Miss Ireland all the more special and I will always cherish the friendships I have made."

"It is truly a dream come true to take on this prestigious role and I am so honoured to follow in the footsteps of the previous Miss Ireland’s who I have always admired."
