What Your Laptop Cover Says About You

Our laptops aren't just mediums for writing essays at the last minute and watching YouTube cat videos. They are also a great way for college students to express themselves, what they stand for, and how many clubs they are a part of. Look around the next time you go to Trabant. You can learn someone's religious, political, and social affiliations all by just peeking at their cover.

Perhaps you never realized this before. Perhaps you've been blindly sticking all the stickers you've gotten at various info sessions and booths, not thinking what they can say about you.

For the curious, here is what they say:

1. The Blank Cover

A blank cover means you prefer to lead a simple, minimalist lifestyle. You prefer the writings of Hemingway. The art of Barnett Newman. Your apartment is decorated by a couch and a lamp, minus the shade. You're too cool to invest your time in such tomfoolery as sticking "UD CLASS OF 2018" on the back of your laptop just because your mom got you the sticker. You're too busy decluttering and not giving a sh*t.

2. The Activist Cover

A cover with a bunch of stickers from the various protests you've attended or maybe just one, strong, revolutionary statement means you like standing up for the right causes. You want to defend what you believe in. You're not afraid of standing on the front lines of change.

Or maybe you just like writing long rants on Facebook to get a lot of likes, and you're kind of a pretentious jerk.

3. The Sorority Cover

This cover means you're either in a sorority or really passionate about the Greek alphabet.

4. The Social Media Cover

This cover means you're #teaminternet. You have a budding YouTube channel in the works. You update your Tumblr blog every day, your status every hour, and your diet consists of Nutella and pizza. Your friends haven't seen you in months. They're worried about you.

5. The Too Much Cover

This cover means you need to stop.

6. The Shopping Addict Cover

This cover means you probably have a tiny addiction to online shopping and a big addiction to the stickers that come with your purchases. You are incredibly trendy and preppy. You may or may not like hiking a lot. You have no idea what to do when Vineyard Vines go out of fashion, but your Toms order just came in and you're hella excited.

7. The Rhinestone Cover

This cover means you are a little obnoxious, but also maybe a bit fabulous. You probably own a small dog of some sort.

8. The Animal Lover Cover

There is a slight possibility you're a vegetarian.

9. The School Spirit Cover

You love UD. You live UD. The moment you stepped on campus your senior year of high school was the day you became truly alive. You own blue and yellow tutus, face paint, shower curtains, and pants.

The first thing you do when you awake in the mornings is sing the fight song. The last thing you do at night before going to sleep is cry, because for the next eight hours you won't be able to experience the majesty of your school.

10. The Multiple Clubs Cover

I couldn't find an appropriate picture for this one, but I'm sure you can imagine.

This cover means you're very -and I mean very- involved. You spend the majority of your days attending club meetings, recruiting new members, and finding the time to sleep within your hectic work schedule.

11. The Fangirl Cover

You're a geek and you're proud. There's a 100% chance your favorite anime is streaming behind that cover in ECON101.

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

Girl With Bleached Hair

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
