Forty! I think I remember you saying you're a pretty good and confident public speaker and such so do you have any tips for someone who has serious anxiety and has to give a terrifying oral argument tomorrow morning?
there was a time i was terrified, i think one of the first times i really had to give a public speech at a point when i actually cared about school and professionalism was my senior year of high school at a new school, before that i was a dickhead class clown always in trouble overconfident 0 fucks given. i was terrified. was pretty scared when i got into college too. it's not something i got good at overnight, especially since i have serious anxiety too. in fact i've had to go through many shitty public speaking experiences in order to get to the point where i was making solid speeches in front of many people. i learned most of my skills by taking classes and participating in extracurriculars that forced me to speak as soon as i got into college -- practice really does make perfect. if it's not too late for you, i'd really suggest taking a public speaking or debate class, i took both. there were speeches where i blushed up there in front of everyone and had to power through it, and speeches where i just killed it like a boss from

tl;dr? idc this is my shit. so here's what you need to keep in mind to be not only a good speaker and convincing to your audience, but to your professor in order that you might get top marks. things you need to consider

Thank you for your notes!! I did it today and the other person that I was supposed to be opposing didn't even show up so I had the give the argument without anything to go on which was interesting. But I think I did well! I got positive feedback so I think your notes helped! <3
