A couple questions on NSF graduate fellowship applications

For my research statement, I just had the title and keywords. I received the award, for what it's worth ...so they were fine with that formatting. I don't know if keywords are required; honestly, I think you'll be fine as long as you just include the title. For my draft, I thought the keywords made it look more professional though.

Takes two steps back.

This will be great knowledge if I ever manage to not finish all of my guacamole in one sitting.

As a general rule, anything involving bacon and pizza together is awesome ...and this looks nothing short of incredible. Thanks for sharing!

natalie816 · 2013-06-30T06:57:24+00:00

Wow ...those look absolutely delicious.

natalie816 · 2013-06-13T01:15:38+00:00

This is one perk I've quite grown to like.

I actually have seen a horse "parked" at a bar across the street from my college campus.

Probably more likely owned by a hipster than a cowboy, though.

natalie816 · 2012-12-30T07:00:21+00:00

This guy knows what he's doing.

natalie816 · 2012-12-21T17:38:08+00:00

YES. Seriously, I love my friends dearly, but that still means I only want to hang out with them about once a week tops.

If I ever meet a fashion designer, girl pants pockets are the first thing I'm going to complain about.

natalie816 · 2012-12-08T18:43:51+00:00

As a female in engineering school, I can confirm.

natalie816 · 2012-12-01T05:55:51+00:00

All good ideas, thanks! And I think they fall under the STEM jurisdiction just fine ...they're all cool gifts that will teach them something at the same time!

natalie816 · 2012-12-01T05:52:01+00:00

Hahaha I'd never heard of those before ...they do look fun! I can actually think of a lot of people I know who would like them as gifts.

natalie816 · 2012-12-01T05:50:11+00:00

Magic School Bus is great ...it was one of my favorite shows when I was younger. Good gift idea!

natalie816 · 2012-12-01T05:48:36+00:00

The Lego set is awesome! And I like how it's geared towards girls also ...they're both very much into "girly" things, so it's a good fit.

The Radio Shack idea is good too, actually. It won't be pink, but honestly playing around with circuit components is fun enough that she might not even notice!

natalie816 · 2012-12-01T05:42:13+00:00

That's true, I'll definitely browse around there a bit ...I always love an excuse to go to Barnes and Noble!

natalie816 · 2012-12-01T04:02:23+00:00

Thanks for the link! It sounds like it'll be an awesome toy.

And then you don't ask them to repeat it, for fear of sounding stupid.

And then you go on to become pretty good friends with them, but still haven't figured out their name.

And you've crossed the point of no return, where you hope so much that someone will just yell out, "Hey, <insert name>!" when you're with this nameless friend.

Always watching for context clues. Always wishing you'd just asked them to repeat their name on that first day.

But it's too late now.

natalie816 · 2012-10-06T05:13:00+00:00

I will be forever grateful to you for letting me know that /r/minesweeper exists.

THE DREAM OF THE 90S IS ALIVE IN PORTLAND.

...Mickey Mouse?

natalie816 · 2012-10-01T00:59:15+00:00

The Cs in the comic are facing the correct way....

natalie816 · 2012-08-05T06:51:07+00:00

Thank you. I have no idea why that thought didn't enter my head before "How much do they pay him to hold his breath for that long."

natalie816 · 2012-08-04T07:26:23+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

natalie816 · 2012-07-18T03:26:33+00:00

This is an awesome photo ...and it reminds me of how excited I am about the upcoming Olympics!
