Stickerscope: What Do Your Laptop Stickers Say About You?

Among the many accessories of the quintessential Bucknell girl, including her fracket, Bean boots, and navy and orange baseball cap, is her laptop. The outer shell of a laptop can say a lot about the collegiette behind it — particularly, when it’s decked out with stickers. Because these rectangular façades are the perfect venues for self-expression, sticker arrangements provide small vignettes into students’ lives and interests. Below, you can decipher what your laptop stickers say about you.

The funny stickers: “Patagucci”, surprised Patrick, Kim K crying, “Vote for Pedro”

What they mean: Displaying one of these stickers means that not only do you have a great sense of humor, but you also love making other people laugh — you’re hoping that Kim’s ugly crying face elicits a smile out of a fellow library-goer. Your friends often look to you to lighten the mood in glum times (*cough* exams).

What you’re doing on the computer: Chances are, you’re either laughing along to last night’s episode of Jimmy Fallon, or reading HerCampus’s list of what college is like as told by Disney characters

The statement stickers: “Frack off”, “Drop beats not bombs”, “Save the sea turtles”, “Girls just wanna have fun(damental human rights)”

What they mean: When it comes to controversial issues, you are engaged and opinionated. Passionate is an excellent word to describe you, as you are unafraid to speak your mind and encourage others to do the same. You are hoping that seeing your sticker gets people talking, thinking, and opening their minds.

What you’re doing on the computer: You probably have several tabs open, including The New York Times, MSN, and/or BBC News, as you finish up your poli-sci paper on Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The chill stickers: “Good vibes”, “Coexist”, sunset-colored yin-yang

What they mean: Going with the flow is pretty much your specialty. People love to be around you because you are able to maintain a positive attitude without being in-your-face about it. You tend to avoid conflict and confrontation, but it’s probably just because you’re so easygoing.

What you’re doing on the computer: You are likely scrolling Tumblr for photos of faraway places to add to your travel bucket list, while enjoying the background music of a coffeehouse playlist. Don’t forget the ukulele cover of T-Swift’s “Shake It Off”!

The preppy stickers: Vineyard Vines whale, Lilly-patterned monogram

What they mean: You are one classy collegiette. Likely raised in New England, you have high-heels to match your high standards — and that’s something to be proud of! You don’t like to leave any loose ends untied or feelings bruised. Friends probably come to you for your savvy fashion advice (or maybe just to borrow your clothes).

What you’re doing on the computer: As a reward for finishing that weeks-long group project, you’re treating yourself to some online shopping — and snapping up all the deals, obvs.

The Bucknell logo

What it means: “Oft of Bucknell, thee are thinking!” You are proud to go to a school where students are not only intelligent, active, and involved, but also genuinely happy. As President Bravman encourages, you strive each day to be the best version of yourself. ‘Ray Bucknell!
