What Your Laptop Cover Says About You
yimg.com

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.

Being single can be great and awful at the same time. Yeah, it's awesome to have time to yourself to figure out who you are and make your own decisions. It would also be nice to have someone to go through life with, but it needs to be the right person. I haven't found that person yet and here's a few reasons why.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
