How To Become A Laptop Sticker Enthusiast

The Rib of Brown

What is the new "thing" now at every college campus? Having a voice... via laptop stickers. Within 30 seconds, a glance at a student's laptop can give you a clear picture of his or her preferences and priorities. New to this trend? Here is how to adhere to becoming a laptop sticker enthusiast:

1. The Token Apple Sticker*

Start with the basics. In your MacBook, iPhone or any other Apple product box, there is always a pair of white Apple logo stickers. No one ever knew where exactly where to place these. It's not even a question now if you are looking for the perfect first status symbol.

*Disclaimer: It is probably not the best idea to place an Apple sticker on a Dell or Asus. Just think about how much you would personally offend Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft.

2. The School Spirit Sticker

Walk to your college bookstore. You are almost guaranteed to find a free sticker in there or find someone who could help you find one. If worst comes to worst, you can attend another freshmen summer orientation, where you find yourself coming home with a big ole' bag of college-related papers, cups, pencils, and... stickers.

3. The Typical Brand Sticker

Order a pair of overpriced sandals or a long-sleeved shirt with a whale across the whole back. If you have ever wondered why the price might be a little unreasonable, think about the other essential you receive with your purchase... A sticker to show off on your laptop.

4. The Fangirl Sticker

If you could kiss any superstar right now, whether is be an actor, musician, athlete, or... an animated character, invest in their face (on a sticker). Brand them and place them on your laptop to let everyone know they are yours, and yours only.

5. The Sister Sticker

The best place for the sticker of your letters you got from your big is on your laptop for your whole college campus to see. There is an unspoken rule in every sorority to show off your letters whenever you possibly can. We are proud of the family we have become a part of. We are grateful for the privilege of getting to run home to that special place on bid day. G.D.I.? Just roll your eyes and ignore this.

6. The Most Important Sticker

Think about the reason you are here on Earth. Think about the reason you wake up everyday. Find a sticker for Him and place it on your laptop. Any inspirational sticker that satisfies you will suffice for what you believe in!

This trend is so popular because it is cheap. Chief Marketing Officer of the sticker company, Redbubble, sums this up perfectly in stating, “Stickers are a simple and flexible way for people to express their personal style.” So get sticking!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
