Moving on to the lighter side of the competition, let's dive into the
Humorous category with the topic, "I am online therefore I exist." Get
ready to laugh and enjoy the witty perspectives our participants bring to
the stage.

 Our next speaker is armed with humour that can lighten the heaviest
of hearts. Please welcome ___________________ from
_____________________ campus.

Ah, the profound philosophy of our times – 'I am online;


therefore, I exist.' Descartes might have said 'I think, therefore I
am,' but in the digital age, we proudly declare, 'I tweet; therefore,
I am!’

 Get ready to laugh and be entertained as we bring to the stage


_______________________ from ___________________ campus.

Let's face it, in the age of social media, our existence is measured
in likes, shares, and the occasional cat video. So, to all the digital
philosophers out there, keep scrolling, and remember, existence is
just one clever meme
away!"

 Hold onto your seats, folks! We're about to inject a dose of quirkiness
into the atmosphere. Brace yourselves for the unique perspective of
___________________ from _______________ campus.

As we delve into the existential depths of 'I am online, therefore I


exist,' let's acknowledge that in the virtual realm, our existence is
not measured in years, but in the number of unread emails and
the constant battle against autocorrect.

 Get ready for an energetic burst of ideas! Our next speaker is about to
take the stage by storm. Let the applause build as we welcome the
dynamic _____________________ from _____________________
campus.

In the digital era, it's not about 'I think,' it's about 'I meme,
therefore I dream.' Welcome to the 21st-century philosophy class,
where our thesis statements come with emojis.

 Please help me welcome ___________________ from


_________________ campus to the stage with a resounding applause!

In the grand play of life, 'I am online therefore I exist' is our


modern-day soliloquy. Hamlet may have pondered life or death,
but we're here contemplating Wi-Fi or data, equally dramatic, I
assure you.
 Our last contestant is _______________________ from
____________________ campus. A big round of applause.

Closing:

Ladies and gentlemen, our participants have left us captivated with


their words, whether serious or humorous. Let's give them all a round
of applause for their courage and eloquence.
