If you're like me, you dread giving presentations and speeches. It's not that I can't do it because I can (and have) delivered some fantastic presentations during my college career. It's just that I don't want to. It's incredibly intimidating for me. I'd rather sit down and have a personal conversation. I can relay the same information I could in a speech or a presentation, but I am ten times more comfortable. It's not me to give a speech. It's not me to stand up and talk to a group of people. There are 10 things I'd rather do than give a speech or presentation.

1. Write a paper

I'm probably still going to complain and procrastinate on the assignment. I am, however, more talented at conveying my message and thoughts through words on a paper than speech. I have time to double and triple check my self. I can clear up confusions and keep my anxiety in check on a piece of paper.

2. Run a mile

I'll just leave you by saying I haven't ran a mile since my junior year of high school, and I'm a senior in college. If you see me running, you should also probably be running.

3. Stay awake for 24 hours straight

I like my sleep. Correction- I love my sleep and any lack of wouldn't be pleasant for anyone

4. Do laundry

I dread doing laundry. It's one of those chores I always put off until I've been wearing the same sweatshirt for five days straight.

5. Read a book

I have a long list of books I want to read but I can never find the time to finish one.

6. Go without coffee

This is a struggle for any college student.

7. Play with my cats

I love my cats like they are my own children. My two kitties are adorable and they deserve all the attention I can give!

8. Take a math class

Math is my weakest academic strength. Once letters are involved in any mathematical calculation, I am totally lost. Even when someone tries to explain math to me, it sounds like a foreign language to me.

9. Wear jeans

I can't remember the last time I wore a pair jeans. This might sound extremely over-dramatic, but yes I'd rather wear the most uncomfortable piece of clothing for an entire day then prepare and give a presentation.

9. Go a day unorganized

Organization is how I keep my head on straight. My planner and endless sticky notes get me through my day. I'd rather go a day without knowing whats on my list of things to do than give a speech.
