9 Types Of Presentations You See In Every College Class, No Exceptions

In This Article:

Class presentations are a cruel right of passage. Inevitably in anyone's educational career, they'll have to present something in front of the class. It's equally as grueling every single time. With every set of class presentations, there are a few characters you can expect to see. Every. Single. Time.

Look out for these nine characters the next time you're unlucky enough to have to present in class:

1. The last-minute presentation

It's clear that this presenter remembered the night before (or maybe even an hour before) the presentation that it was happening. At least they tried.

2. The too-long presentation

It's unclear whether this person prepared too much or if they just don't know when to stop. Either way, you'll be staring at your watch wondering just how so much time can pass in this eternal presentation. Bonus points to this presenter if they get cut off by the professor.

3. The well-prepared presentation

It's clear this presenter spent hours working on their presentation. It's perfectly timed, executed, and really hits the mark. There is no doubt the person unfortunate enough to go after them will feel entirely inadequate.

4. The speedy presentation

This presenter either didn't prepare and had little to say or went through everything so quickly that you blinked and they were done. Either way, A+ for timeliness.

5. The flex of a presentation

This presenter is one of those people who needs everyone to know that they are better than you. No matter what the topic, they'll find a way to turn it back to their own personal gains in life. (This is not limited to sharing a personal experience only tangentially related to the topic that shows how superior they are to all of you.) Bow down to this presenter, peasants.

6. The mediocre presentation

You may not even remember that this presenter even presented something. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't good either. Perfectly mediocre.

7. The press conference presentation

For some reason, this presenter gets enough questions to equate to the length of another entire presentation. They just had an element of ~mystery~ that needed to be resolved.

8. The off-topic presentation

This presenter either misunderstood the prompt or really didn't care. Imagine a presentation on primates and someone comes up and talks about the discography of Arctic Monkeys. You can kinda see how they got there, but... why?

9. The Prezi presentation

The majority of presenters know that Powerpoint or Slides is most definitely The Move™. However, a few psychopaths exist that use Prezi for their main method of presentation. Cool transitions, bro, but at what cost?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
