5 Sarah Palin Quotes To Make You Feel Better About Any Presentation You Have Ever Bombed
CNN Money

We all have those days where we walk into a presentation completely unprepared. We stand in front of the class/teacher/audience and have no idea what to say, not because we suddenly "went blank" but because we were never able to dissipate the fog that surrounded the project/speech/whatever from the moment it was assigned. We stand sweating at the podium and stumble through nonsense that even we know is horrible, waiting for the mediocre applause and grade reflective of the presentation.

Well, I have good news for all of us. A slice of redemptive pie. A "pick me up" when we know we could've done better.

Sarah Palin doesn't just have "those days," she has our occasional problem every time she opens her mouth publicly. If you just had a rough presentation, don't worry, I've come through to scoop you up and put you back on that golden platform of intelligence. Forever remember that when you struggle through a presentation, you will never fail as hard as these Sarah Palin quotes.

For when you aren't completely sure what you are talking about:

1. Palin on Paul Revere: "He warned the British that they weren't going be taking away our arms by ringing those bells and making sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed."

For when you have no clue what you're talking about, but have two choices and confidently pick one:

2. Palin on the conflict between North and South Korea: "Obviously, we gotta stand with our North Korean allies."

For when you have said everything you know about the topic and have five minutes left to reach the minimum time requirement:

3. Palin addressing Trump supporters at a rally in Iowa: "Looking around at all of you; you hard-working Iowa families, you farm families and teachers and teamsters and cops and cooks; you rockin’ rollers and holy rollers! All of you who work so hard, you full-time moms, you with the hands that rock the cradle."

For when someone questions one of your theories/quotes and you immediately come up with an important sounding name and reference it to back yourself up:

4. Palin on accusations made against her: "I think on a national level your Department of Law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out." (There is no 'Department of Law' in the White House.)

For when the professor/teacher questions your sources:

5. Palin on the newspapers and magazines she reads to stay in touch with news/reality: “All of them. Any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.”

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
