Georgia Tech Freshman Convocation - Epic Sophomore Welcome Speech - Full Version

Nick Selby gives an epic Sophomore welcome speech to the freshman class.

[@elhigh]

What rocks: being the guy that conceives of and delivers a speech like this. What sucks: being the poor bastard that has to speak after him.

[@jeangoodwin5767]

It was the provost, LOL!

[@LaughingWasabi]

i wonder if he finished his iron man suit

i just saw a life sized one displayed at the Geek Store window a couple of days ago. Im not shitting you. I was saying "holy cow, he f*kin did it". Starts about 10k tho.

[@wonderfrost8]

Honey he will probably become Iron man with his sass and charisma He the irl tony stark

[@sameerpradhan768]

Yes. He has filed for patent. After that it will be available for sale on Amazon, Walmart. It has female version too.

[@LutherTraining]

There was no way that the Sign Language interpreter was able to put enough emphasis in her signs to fully indicate the power behind that lol

[@yoyoman_blue6485]

Holy cow, I thought he was gonna summon the power of Thor from the sky right at the end. LOL

[@or3_f1nn78]

YOU'RE FORGETTING HE IS AT GEORGIA TECH, HE CAN DO THAT!!!!

[@elhigh]

As entertaining a speech as this is, I strongly recommend everyone watch it for style points. Forget the speech, observe Nick's skills and instincts as a speaker. His face is open, his delivery is measured and very confident. This is one of the best non-political public speakers I have ever seen.

[@fizzed87]

I noticed that as I was watching as well

[@mistamista82]

yes, indeed

[@chevy66driver]

Pretty damn good. Probably from all that practice summoning his quick wit wit and extreme volume whilst talking smack in cod lobbies

[@lukelakatos6216]

I was gonna say that. Something about him is warm like an innocent kid from the 80s. This kid for president.

"You are never stagnant. You are always growing and maturing... or falling behind." - Nick Selby everyone, amazing quote.

[@irresponsible_daddy1121]

He will build the iron man suit.

[@wolfielin901]

That was the most epic speech in history.

[@joshhood6660]

he literally waits for the laughs like a comedian

[@plutochurch]

I went to High school with this guy. He did speech and debate at one of the best S and D programs in the country. That's why this was so awesome.

[@AkshatSinghania]

really thats so cool

I wish I had the balls this guy has.

he should of just dropped the mic at the end and walked off like a badass

[@AlejandroHernandez-ff9kz]

I was really hoping for him to say “I AM IRON MAN” at the end lolll

[@mooseknuckle7513]

Should’ve said “I AM IRON MAN” and then had the song by Black Sabbath start playing. Would’ve been badass overload

[@ste2158]

or say I AM ROBERT DOWNEY JUNIOR! would be even funnier

[@frankhinstine4552]

The only way he could top this is if he had flown out of the window..

[@Rose052003]

Congratulations to him! He graduated this year. Hope he's doing well. As a mechanical engineering student, I love his speech.

[@hal9000xxl]

Oh boy I think he is on the road for a huge disappointment. As a mechanical engineer to another I hate to tell him that we do not build Iron Man suits and most of us don't work on fancy projects just solve everyday problems huh...

[@ShallBePurified]

I wish all speeches can be like this.

[@deerslayer625]

This guy is the living definition of "like a boss"

[@zayneharring9570]

I guess I'm just gonna say it since no one else will. Nick is the Shia Lebouf of 2013.

[@karenfreund8292]

What strikes me is his professionalism. His delivery was perfect! Each of his points was clearly articulated, he had well-timed pauses, and even the section of his speech with the music was so well-memorized that he hit the script at the proper times to create impact with the music's highlights, building the audience's confidence in his testimonial. Excellent example of "it's not what you say, but how you say it."

[@Kerry150]

I would really hate to have to be the person that followed that speech. That was awesome!!

[@Metlhed420]

Wow, rock star. Gotta say, I'm going to be on the lookout for a flying suit of armor over the Georgia Tech neck 'o the woods in the near future. Chances are, Nick will be on his way to his Gwyneth Paltrow-like girlfriend's house. Outstanding job, Nick.
