My lesbian cousin and I were in my high school’s Model UN and for a practical debate we had to pair up with straight people and debate whether it was better to be straight or gay.

opinion: the sole purpose of the UN is to make itself look stupid and naïve.

What people think Model UN is like: serious socially conscious students working diligently to achieve world peace.
What Model UN is actually like: “Breaking news! The Gospel Of Bread has taken over much of Europe and has assassinated several world leaders!”

Do you like International Relations, Model UN, Geo-Politics?
I found this free program that does a model UN type thing, but it's fully free and fully virtual, here's the link if you're interested:

I had a slower start to the morning, but I got to hang out with Fin while I had my morning coffee -- I've finally cracked and bought into the oat milk craze, and let me say -- it really is delicious! Anyways, after lunch, I did a bit of reading and then wrapped up some revisions on my topic paper for Model UN after getting some feedback from my professor.

MUN my beloved
The thing is, I used to be fucking terrified of MUN. Everything about it (research, writing, teamwork, collaboration, public speaking) scared the living crap out of me. I came to my first conference with a whole folder of (largely) useless facts. I physically shook when I first rose to give a speech defending an amendment. I couldn’t eat and had to go to the bathroom four times before the committee sessions because I was so nervous. And yet, as the three-day conference went on, I got more and more confident. I stood up, debated, proposed amendments and gave speeches. I grew to love it more than anything in my life.
Here’s a quick aesthetic I curated based on MUN
A binder of perfectly organised notes on the country’s politics, socio-economic environments, geography, and current affairs
Watching documentaries about your country’s culture, taking in the unique landscape
Empty coffee cups that somehow manage to multiply on your desk
Pulling all-nighters, too eager to learn as much as you can
Crisp white shirt and fresh suit, all ready for the upcoming day
Messy handwriting, scrawling notes on the resolution of other delegates
Ink-stained fingers
Reciting your speech to yourself, having committed it to memory
Nervously cracking knuckles before your opening speech
Feeling immense pride when your resolution passes
Heated debates during unmoderated caucuses
Placard raised proudly

Starting a MUN volunteer/OC/DLO ☆•aesthetic •☆
Having to run around campus promoting the event
Calling up & getting hung on potential delegates
Staying up late & getting up early for meetings
Getting yelled at by senior club members for not gathering enough of a crowd
Wearing sneakers with formals
Sweating through said formals while running from one committee to another
Whispering to other memebrs, furiously, for lack of communication
Gossiping quietly in passing while rushing to committee
Getting to interact with the EB, delegates, IP, Secretariat as if you're both to serve their beck & gall, their vent wall, or their best friend
Putting names to faces, & promptly forgetting because there are 100s of OC members
Phone vibrating your ass while messages are thrown in various groups
Sacrificing meals & breaks
Standing for irrationally long hours while pointing out locations for registrations, meals, committees
Being patient with everyone, because you represent the conference
Putting together delegate kits
Running out of all the pens you have on you
