How do you win a conference?

Clearly you do not know what "tumblr"'s fan demographic of almost any property is.

 

 I do, but of course how could I pass up a cheap shot like that?

It’s called a student research conference at my university but you’re allowed to enter in your paper for a competition aspect where they judge the papers with an interdisciplinary group of professors from the university.

 

They’ll award the top 3 undergraduate and graduate papers and posters based off the scoring or something like that.

 

I don’t really get how they’re supposed to compare thesis work from say a humanities major, to an engineering design, to data research, to a lab experiments though.

Comey declares Trump's hand are not unusually small.

 

“As he extended his hand,” Comey adds, “I made a mental note to check its size. It was smaller than mine, but did not seem unusually so.”

Also Witcher 3's open world detracts from the game and is a bore. And Gerald moves like a grandma with arthritis.

Laura Dern is soooooo good in her 2 minutes in Downsizing. Can someone make a comedy with that character? Thanks.

The thing that baffles me the most about Downsizing is how Jason Sudekis got like fourth billing when literally all of his scenes were in the trailers. I think marketing didn't show maybe a minute of his screentime at most

Already finished it. Got a bit bored after they went to Norway, but otherwise it’s an ok enough flick. Didn’t mind the white man finds love & purpose & pesperctive turn it took.

Now that I'm more or less done my first year... I've got a stats exam and english left but that's it, I'm just getting more and more stressed out about what to take next year.

 

I feel like I should have decided my now. Crunch time. But I really don't know. The more I think about it the more I'm unsure about sciences, I've kind of decided not to do and Earth and Ocean Science degree even though there's still a few courses in that program I can, and probably will, take as elective credits because they look interesting. I've been looking at biology recently, as it's also interested me, and all the maths all work out, but I kind of want to do a minor in anthropology, if not eventually make that my major.

 

I just have no idea, and at this point it's guranteed I'm going to need 5 years to complete my degree. And if I don't decide soon it could be 6

Downsizing is some wack ass shit
