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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
