A 5 year-old girl from Scotland named Lucie has just become a viral sensation with hilarious before and after photos from her first day of school. Everyone from kids, to parents, to teachers know how difficult the first day of school can be after a long fun summer, and these photos perfectly sum that up.

Jillian Falconer, Lucie’s mother, took to social media to share a photo that showed how Lucie looked as she was sent off to school in the morning verses how she looked when she got home. The before image shows Lucie with bright eyes, perfect hair, and a bow that is right in the perfect spot. Her dress is spotless with no wrinkles, and her socks are pulled up to just the right spot.

By the end of the day, however, things have taken a dark turn for Lucie, and it’s clear she had a rough one. The girl’s hair is frazzled, her shirt is wrinkled and her tie is hanging to the side. Both her bow and socks have fallen, leaving her looking completely disheveled.

Jillian said that she and Lucie’s dad “can’t believe [the photo] has gone viral.” She added that even she was shocked by Lucie’s appearance at the end of the day.

“Lucie is just like any typical child,” Jillian said. “When I went to pick her up from school and saw how she looked, I was mortified. I asked her what she had been doing at school and she said ‘Oh nothing, I just played with my friends.’”

Though she looked like a bit of a mess, Lucie really had a blast on her first day with all her fellow students and teachers.

“The wonders of primary two!” said Jillian.  “The teachers are really good, they do a lot of active learning and things with them — so I take it it was down to that. She’d obviously had a really fun day.”
