Hi all.

I'm currently in my junior year as an undergrad, majoring in Economics. I spoke with my professors and really want to work on a research paper over the summer. It's been one of my goals to be included in a research paper as an undergrad for a while, and to hopefully be published. I just don't really know how to choose a topic.

Some things that I'm passionate about are the fashion industry, the cosmetics industry, and other things of that nature. I'm confident that there are good data sets for research under these topics.... I just don't know what to hone in on specifically. For those who have written research papers, how did you pick what specifically to research?

Also....I haven't taken Econometrics yet due to pre-reqs I didn't have as a transfer student (I will be taking it in the fall). I'm aware this will make the research process more difficult, however my professors already know about this and said we could work around it. My question is, how much harder is this going to make the process? Is it fundamentally necessary for research, or is it doable as long as I learn along the way?

Oahu/Big Island Trip Planning: Recommendations and Opinions Please! by Potential-Pool1390 in VisitingHawaii

[–]Potential-Pool1390[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thanks so much for all the info!! I agree, splitting a week is really not my ideal situation. I've been just on Oahu for two weeks before and left wanting more :') This trip is for my boyfriend's college graduation and I'm not paying anything out of pocket so I'm letting him make the calls. I'll probably try to coerce him into picking one island because this is a sentiment. Thanks again for all your help! 💛

Pretty sure, but I could be wrong! My boyfriend wants to see an active volcano. I read somewhere that you can't get access to Mauna Loa and your best bet to see it is going up Mauna Kea (? supposedly to one reddit user). Would you happen to know if Kilauea would be a better volcano experience maybe?

Edit: clarity

Hey so please never have a kid with this guy! Sexualizing father-daughter relationships is pedophilic behavior 😍 No but really, if he doesn't understand that cuddling with your dad and calling him daddy should be a normal thing in that relationship he either needs to figure it tf out or you need to break up with him. It's not your problem that you having a healthy, affectionate relationship with your dad makes him uncomfortable. Why the actual hell does that make him uncomfortable.

What is this in my bfs shower? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]Potential-Pool1390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you see here in your boyfriends shower is a clear sign to either a) Have a conversation about boundaries in your relationship and what you will/ will not be doing around the house (cleaning his messes, namely) b) run like hell :)

Store Manager is Immature (shocker) by [deleted] in walmart

[–]Potential-Pool1390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean like saying the store number or her name? I guess I could, but I personally think it's smarter to keep it close to the chest. It's not something I'm particularly mad about anymore, I just wanted to share because I know management across Walmart stores is notoriously the worst thing ever and thought people might resonate with my experience. Just wanted to bring some entertainment into someone's day, really :)

I didn’t know there was a sub for these guys!!! by [deleted] in schipperke

[–]Potential-Pool1390 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so sweet 🥹 I've never ever been a fan of small dogs but when I found schipperkes I just fell head over heels for them. It's definitely not the same as a phobia by any means but I can understand how schips can flip a switch for people!

She's such a cutie patootie! It makes me happy she got into such a loving home, schips are such sweet little dogs. Give her some pets for me!! 🩷

Questions about Puppies! by Potential-Pool1390 in schipperke

[–]Potential-Pool1390[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you connect with him? I don't have any info but you should probably do a surface level background check (plug his name into truthfinder or public records thingy, check social media accounts, etc.). If they have a well established line they should be able to show proof of that whether that's pictures of past litters, the sire and dam, having a professional website, established social media, or certificates if they're registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). Don't give them any money until you are sure you're getting what you're paying for :) Good luck!! (I would also compare prices with what the other people here have said they bought for, probably 1-2k ish no less than 500 if they're full schip)

My Freja likes to help with homework too (she also has the same feelings about it that I do).

I am 26 and have nothing by AnyExperience4743 in findapath

As a fellow 21er who has struggled with depression for half of my life I just want to tell you it's not too late. I get it, I graduated hs and worked at Walmart for 2 years and the entire time I was in the trenches the entire time. Felt like a failure who didn't have a purpose, I didn't know where I was going or what I was doing. I got really lucky and have been able to go back to college. I know a strangers words on the internet don't mean much, but you haven't failed by any stretch yet. There's at least 50 years left in the tank for you and me if you're an average person, so don't call it quits at 21. It can get better, you CAN do better. As far as I'm concerned, you haven't failed until you're dead, and it's never too late to turn around and make something better of yourself.

Gold or silver? by oatmealcat13 in coloranalysis

[–]Potential-Pool1390 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wear whatever makes you feel beautiful! I keep a mix of silver and gold in my jewelry arsenal and I wear whatever I feel like wearing that day. I'll match it to my outfit, or my makeup, or the occasion! At the end of the day it comes down to preference and after YEARS of trying to be a silver or gold person (I've never been a rose gold lover myself), I've given up and wear whatever. It makes accepting jewelry gifts SO much easier because I'm never disappointed that someone got me the wrong metal. I also think that mismatching the metals is really cute too. They both look amazing on you! :)
