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

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?

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.

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.
