Miscellaneous: Today, I had to say a deep sincere speech on assembly in front...

Today, I had to say a deep sincere speech on assembly in front of the whole college on the recent floods in Queensland. Instead of saying "We are Queenslanders, when we get knocked down, we get back up" I stumbled and said "We are Queenslanders, when we get knocked up..." FML

Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML

Today, I had to give a speech but I wasn't prepared. I decided to give it anyway. While giving the speech, I got so nervous I passed out. FML

Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML

Today, after giving a speech at college, I did the good ol' mic drop. The microphone fell with a loud bang that was heard through the clapping. FML

Today, I had to give a speech on stage at a local preschool about fire safety. I'm 32 years old and passed out on stage because I felt extremely nervous and intimitated by a group of 4 year olds. FML

Today, I was giving a presentation to my college class. I've had a natural stutter my whole life, so I stuttered through the whole thing. My professor tried to hold in her laughter for 15 minutes. FML

Today, while thinking about something cringe I did, I accidentally said, "Oh fuck!" aloud during someone's speech. The room besides me and the speaker was otherwise quiet. FML

Today, I was late to a lecture when I tripped up the stairs. With a few hundred people already staring and laughing at me, I started to curtsy to my "adoring fans" but instead fell backwards down the massive flight of stairs. FML

Today, I had a presentation in French class. I was so nervous, the first thing I said when I got up there was, "Hola." FML

Today, I gave a speech at a charity event in part to help with my shyness. Nobody told me I was standing on top of an air vent. It went on. My skirt flew up, revealing my underwear to 90 people. Nobody remembers the content of my speech. FML

Well it appears you should go to America OP. We don't have "colleges" over here. We have universities.

That sounds back to front... Generally over here (Australia) A 'college' is a fancy high school. I can't think of any tertiary schools that aren't called Universities, but I'm probably wrong.

Yep, Amricans are stupid. All we did was have some of the worlds smartest scientists. You know, little things like airplanes, cars, T.V.s, computers, and one everyone loves, peanut butter, all came from America/American scientists. I mean, sure, we're all fat and dumb over here. Just like all British don't know what a 'toothbrush' is, and all australians ride kangaroos. Yep. All fat and stupid.

I went to one of the crappiest public schools and it was called a college. Our private schools are called "grammar schools", at least as far as I know.

There are also UNI's in Australia called colleges, although there are not many, such as the Christian Heritage College in Brisbane, but yes, for the most part they are private schools
