Favorite Presentations

Unfortunately, I was unable to see a lot of the presentations because, along with 8% of Clemson's students, I was out with the flu. Of the presentations I did see, though, I'd have to say that the ones that stuck out the most were:
The adopting a pet speech- I never knew you could keep a pet for a week or two so that they would have more room in the shelters. I love puppies, but can't have the responsibility and costs of one right now. This was interesting and persuaded me to try out the foster care thing. Her topic was different and she kept it entertaining with cute pictures of different dogs that she has cared for.

The Hershey's chocolate speech- I'm definitely a chocolate lover, but I had no idea there was chocolate tasting etiquette similar to that of wine tasting. She did a really good job conveying a first hand account of her experience with chocolate tasting. It always seems more interesting when you hear information about something that the person has actually experienced rather than just researched.

All of the speeches I heard were great, and I could tell that everyone put a lot of time into preparing them. I wish I had seen all of them; the mule one sounded like it would have been pretty amusing! I enjoyed being able to see what my classmates were interested in and learn a little bit more about them, and I was glad that I was able to share some of my passions as well!
