Informative Speech
Introduction: College. The place where it can make you or break you. We can all relate to being excited, nervous, and scared all at the same time once we got to Texas State. We were no longer big bad seniors walking the halls of high school, but scared little freshman walking around this University looking for our class and at one point getting lost. We are all freshman in college, and although we’ve already been here for about 2 months we sometimes still need help on specific things. Although we are currently going through our first semester and only need five more weeks to finish we still need some advice. Even though we don’t want to admit it we all want “tips” on how to survive freshman year in college. I’m a freshman so I’m not saying that I’m an expert at this but from researching information and talking to some friends and family that have gone through their freshman year in college I can share some tips with you that can hopefully help throughout the year.
Body:
Point 1:We come into college and most of us don’t know anyone. Making friends in college can sometimes be really awkward because you don’t want to seem too forward. I mean I’m pretty sure people will think you’re creepy if you start telling them your whole life story. Just start off by telling them the simple information about you like your name, where you come from, and what made you choose Texas State. Once you get to know that person and its seems that you two are friends then you can start letting them know more about you. But like I said before don’t tell them more than they need to know because then they’ll probably start slowly walking away. One tip you can remember is that wherever you go around campus, whether its in class or just sitting in the lobby of your residence hall, is to introduce yourself to the person next to you every time you sit down. Start up a conversation with at least one new person each day. I mean I don’t promise that you’ll become best friends with that person
