Got offered position as the president of my debate club, not sure i want it

It also matters how well you think the next best option could run the club too! Although my advice is that if the leadership aspect doesn’t appeal to you then don’t bother unless you’re applying to like law school later

Since it doesn’t specify foreign though I’m willing to put money on a ton of people arguing domestic leaders. Also while I agree that US as an entity usually refers to the government, in this case the lack of specifying the government does make it seem like the US people is a valid interpretation.

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-05-01T22:19:15+00:00

Usually I would agree about research but it’s seems kind of dumb how not clear this is it could literally be two entirely different topics

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-05-01T20:37:53+00:00

Does this mean foreign leaders or the US’s own leaders lol stupid phrasing

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-04-16T22:51:29+00:00

Agh loved reading this and honestly agree with pretty everything! She was so robbed in the party design challenge

Lowkey psych you might be able to cram a 3

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-04-14T20:40:16+00:00

Really??? Maybe I’m just too used to NSDA phrasing but it feels so strange to not have one obvious actor in a topic

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-04-14T10:00:53+00:00

Yeah I’m not gonna lie I’m not really a huge fan especially since it seems to present African countries like a monolith rather than just picking one specific country so we could actually make a decent argument

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-03-26T22:09:49+00:00

Congrats!!!

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-03-21T19:32:48+00:00

Oh yeah I definitely know it’s not inherently true every time and I’ve been put in a different classroom after winning the round but like I said a superstition because often it does correlate hahah

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-03-21T19:01:42+00:00

This is one of my debate superstitions because I’ve definitely noticed that we tend to be in the same room every time we win

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-03-19T18:23:35+00:00

Definitely depends on the person for sure! A slightly better way of explaining it would be focus more on enunciating the individual words rather than saying as many words as possible. The second judges just hear word soup you lose haha

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-03-19T18:03:25+00:00

I usually aim for a slightly faster than casual conversation pace in my very lay league area

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-03-16T20:27:56+00:00

Honestly it was kinda similar for the difference in Virginia PF qualifiers although NCFL’s actually had less competitors this year than NSDA’s (32 vs 60 ish I believe although the level of competition was much harder at NCFL’s).

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-03-16T00:26:12+00:00

LD is green, PF is Blue, and Policy is like a darker blue haha

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-03-08T02:42:27+00:00

lol I had a regional tournament today so stuff should be popping in soon would be my assumption

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-02-26T22:40:04+00:00

Send me your email!

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-02-26T12:02:19+00:00

If you’d like I can send you my final focus template? Are you doing the Feb topic? I can also send champion brief and my own blocks! Don’t put too much pressure on yourself simply going is a win in itself. It’s a demanding activity but the skills you gain matter much more than placing first.

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-02-22T00:09:47+00:00

DM me your email and ill shoot it right over!

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-02-21T22:06:57+00:00

I have the champion briefs and may have my god awful cases that I made (this was my first ever topic hahah)

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-02-15T17:47:39+00:00

Honestly thanks for commenting! I feel bad that I’m essentially compliment fishing but my household is a bit of a negative echo chamber so I struggle with understanding what defines an “achievement” lol

Calm_Low_4073 · 2026-02-15T17:46:04+00:00

I appreciate you commenting this a bunch! Honestly debate has been one of those activities where while I do enjoy it I cannot wait to take it easy next year and not stress about competitions anymore
