Share things nobody asked you to share

Also that is terrifying, I was not expecting you guys to be that old…. you should become my legal guardian.

mine too

Ooh that would be fun

This comment strand is making me laugh so hard

Alright first of all, I've raised enough kids at this point in my life, I'm more of a Vodka aunt at best, regardless. I can not handle any legal responsibility but like if you need something let me know, I got you fam, I'm very good at handing out advice whether you want it or not. Be warned I will tell you if I think you're being dumb

Friend accidentally found out something about me, I'm expecting her to guard this secret with her life.

If she doesn’t then she’s no true friend

I STILL HATE SPEECHES WHY IS THIS SO HARD

Oooh actually I have a trick for this one. So you have to give a presentation a speech or whatnot. Pick a character to embody, I don't know why it helps but it does. My go to is Howl from Howl's moving castle, Movie version not book Version. It's oddly effective. If you preferer imagining the audience as something might I suggest you pretend everyone in the audience thinks you are outrageously hot and would ask you to step on them if given the chance. Also oddly effective. The Idea between both of these things is to fix your body language and stance, if your body is tense it tells your brain it's upset and then things go down hill from there. If your body language is relaxed, your brain says oop just a normal Tuesday.

If you are struggling to write the dang thing, I also have a trick.
Step1: Do all of your research gather all of your information.
Step2: Create a tentative outline and by tentative I mean, "I want to talk about A B and C and make sure I remember to point out flaws X and Y" Nothing complicated legit just bullet points.
Step 3: Turn on text to speech and rant about it until you've gone over your maximum time limit by at least 30 seconds and have talked about everything on your bullet point list
Step4: Fine tune
Ok stay with me for this. The Rant is going to be your guide for the lay out of your speech. Did you start off talking about point A only to discover you needed to go back and talk about point C for Point A to make sense, lovely you know how to order them properly now.
I would recommend opening up a second document and copy and pasting section of the rant onto the new doc in the correct order. Then you just go through and fiddle with it until it sounds professional.

Step 5: Read through the whole dang thing again, out loud and highlight points where it just doesn't sound right, maybe you're tripping over the words or it's just clunky. you're going to change those section until they flow right. Using academic language is important but it's more important to be understandable. If the words aren't wording pick new words.

Step 6: Time yourself and practice with people, if you don't have people to practice with record your self to see how you sound and if your going to fast ect. this will also help you stay within your allotted time.

A last little note, don't read line for line, or you're going to panic if you miss words and so on, like you can write it line for line but make sure your of with skipping words and line ect. because that's going to happen and you will have to improvise.

That is all, go give your speech with confidence. I believe in you

BRO JUST HIT ME UP THAT IS LITERALLY A PART OF MY COLLEGE DEGREE

Or just listen to Winter, she's better than I am in this category

BROSKIS HIT RELS UP FOR THE ESSAY TEMPLATE THAT MESSED SAVED MY LIFE AT LEAST TWICE NOW

🤣 Glad it was useful. Most high school teachers gave me at least a 90% if I did nothing but fill it out and turn the essay in. Collage professors are picker I think the highest I;ve gotten without editing what I wrote with the outline was a 85% Still not bad

I will, I promise

The goose stops honking, understanding that a sneaky goose is a successful goose.

we are writing notecard speeches in debate

:)

ONCE AGAIN if you need help for writing, essay wise, MLA wise, AP style wise, APA style wise, Chicago style wise, even Turabian style, HIT ME UP. THIS IS WHY I AM IN COLLEGE.

thank you

:)

I have to take public speaking next semester and I'm loathing it. I already had to take a communications class and I didn't like that and I'm a horrible public speaker so I'm not ready

👀 Won’t you take a poor sinner’s hand @Musical_Queen

Except I do everything last minute so I'll probably do all of my assignments at like 1130pm the night it's due

Homie me too. I gotchu.

That's why you take the class, To get better.
I know as a society we are generally raised to want to do things perfect on the first try, but that is in no way realistic and can be an extremally harmful and counterproductive mind set to have. you're not taking the class to prove you're good at it, you're taking the class to improve. That's the whole point, to get better at something you aren't good at. I mean If you were already good at it then you'd be paying for a class that's just a waste of your time.

I have a professor next semester who grades more harshly the later you turn in the assignment. He is the Devil, I respect him and his teaching style but still.
