I've had a ton of great memories over my short tenure, from fooling around at Pro-Ams to nov breaking at Pac Cup, but the one that still sticks out the most is my first time debating ever. I was up against Eamon who was absolutely CONVINCED he'd win with the special motion he had prepared, and was already pre-emptively apologizing for my loss. However, Rajesh gave me a crash course in debating (which was mostly just debunking everything I had learned in the presentation minutes prior) and after this rude awakening I was feeling prepared. We enter the room and it turns out this special motion was essentially "Should we make the president butcher a citizen to be able to start nuclear war?". The next 34 minutes were an indescribable blur, but I remember passionately arguing for the most utterly reprehensible ideas. Sentences which should never leave the room were flung openly and without abandon, splattering the walls. After what seemed an eternity, the dust settled, and the verdict was announced. Despite the odds, our team actually won! Rajesh and I would go on to be in the same room for the next 2 rounds, and even get paired up for our last debate in the term, where we won on an (even more!) offensive topic. This positively nuclear round was my first introduction to debate, and I've loved it ever since.
