I'd love some help choosing a speech topic.

[kepler.]

Sparknotes at bottom. I'd suggest reading them, I tend to ramble.

As I sit in my dorm room eating this ungodly delicious Subway sandwich it dawns on me that I have a speech outline due on Monday and I haven't even chosen a topic yet.

I first chose to do an informative news presentation about the Large Hadron Collider. But when I heard someone else had already chosen that and my teacher began to discourage me from it I knew I'd have to choose a new one. And just so you know my teacher said that because she doesn't understand anything about the LHC how is the rest of the class going to understand. What she doesn't realize is that she's a dumb communications graduate student. Anyway I digress.

I woke up sick as hell today. I didn't even go to the Purdue v. Penn State game I felt so shitty. I'm trying to find topics for a speech but I can barely stand to write this thread let alone read a bunch of article.

I'd really appreciate it from NS if you could help me find a topic to research on. The way my teacher wants it done by finding an article and then finding 2 print resources to support it. It has to be 4-6 minutes in length and must be relevant to college students of course. So the article must be interesting/useful to that demographic.

sparknotes: I need a speech topic. Please read the last paragraph to find the parameters. It'd really really be helpful to me.

Oh and +karma for whoever wants it I guess.

Thanks for not reading what I wrote or helping at all...I guess that's what I get for coming to NSG.

why 2014 olympics should be in alaska
why skiing superpipe should be in the 2010
why people like CR Johnson are stiil skiing after being in coma (cause he's a badass)
why Europe is favored for big cliff hucks and crazy shit over the US (ex. Dan Treadway)

just a few.

Skiing is not and never will be relevant to a class of college students in Northern Indiana.

 

[skithe49th]

then write about the angst skiers have this time of the year and why it is the best sport out there and what it feels like to miss it being in northern indiana or iraq or some other nutso no snow place, make it deep though your class will like that.

 

[kepler.]

And how is that novel or interesting to college students? And how is that even a news story?

 

[skithe49th]

you could always write about balls and wieners too, shit you come to newschoolers for schoolwork whaddya expect.
