I’ve always struggled with waiting for a conference. It’s genuinely one of my FAVORITE things to do ever. I love Model UN so every time I have to wait over an hour to go to a conference I get antsy.

However, I’ve found some ways to deal with this excitement. The first is to just invest all your time and energy into researching for the conference. Look into your country, its position, its resources, and political leaders.

My favorite thing to do is practice my speeches though! I go over them over and over until I perfect them with my partner. We even say them while walking in the halls so once we get into committee we aren’t nervous at all.

In addition to this I also love watching Model UN TikToks. I’ll just browse on the web to feed my excitement for the conference. I love watching the fit checks and picking my own Model UN clothes.

Finally, I’d also suggest talking about the conference with your teachers and friends. Honestly the best way to wait for a conference is to rant about it to the people around you. It gets you less antsy and more in the MUN mood.

Now what about Summer?

There’s about a 4 month period that I go without any MUN conferences. I genuinely don’t know how I get through them. I just write about Model UN on my blog and talk about it with my friends. I know I seem obsessed but this is seriously one of my most favorite clubs ever. 

However, waiting for the conference is the worst part of Model UN but I hope this article helped you figure out some methods you can use in order to successfully wait for your next one.
