Whether you are walking through campus on your way to class or attending a lecture, you are almost guaranteed to see laptops decked out in personality-reflecting stickers.
As college students, it can be hard to sit down and spend a lot of time on a computer, which is why many students find it important to decorate their laptops. Adding small details, whether it be a keyboard mat or a few stickers, can make your homework experience at least slightly more enjoyable.
UTC sophomore, Julia Cates, shared how her laptop stickers motivate her to be a better student.
“My favorite laptop sticker would have to be my dad’s Airbnb logo because my goal after college is to take over the business,” Cates said. “It is a constant reminder for me to work harder and focus on my school work.”
Sitting down to do assignments can be challenging, regardless if you are doing discussion boards or writing lengthy essays. However, seeing reminders of the things you love or interests that motivate you before you open your laptop can help reduce the stress and anxiety of school.
Throughout campus, you may notice students with stickers from their favorite vacation spot, sorority or fraternity, favorite artist, hobby, or whatever else may express their personality.
Alongside college and the stress of schoolwork comes the challenge of making friends. Laptop stickers can encourage students to engage in conversation with each other, acting as a conversation starter.
“As a freshman, I didn’t rush because I wanted to focus on school, but what I also didn’t realize is making friends in college is nothing like it was in high school,” Jones said. “The first friend I made is actually because this girl in my college algebra class complimented the Life Is Good sticker I have on my laptop.”
However, reminders and motivation are not the only things laptop stickers have to offer college students. Many students choose to decorate their laptops with stickers to showcase their personalities.
Whether you collect a sticker from every state you visit or simply express yourself through encouraging quotes or messages, the stickers you put on your laptop correlate with your personality in some fashion.
Morgan Jones, a senior at UTC, shared her thoughts and reasoning for her laptop stickers, which may be beneficial to lower-classmen.
“Honestly, decorating my laptop my fall semester of freshman year really helped me stay on top of my homework,” Jones said. “It was nice to see small reminders of some things I enjoy before having to buckle down and complete an assignment. On top of that, it was one way I was able to express myself on such a big campus.”
Not only can stickers motivate you through academics, but they can also be sweet reminders of home.
“I also have stickers that remind me of my family, which makes me think about how hard they worked and also motivates me to work harder,” Cates said.
Regardless if you need a slight pick-me-up to get you through the semester or a way to express your personality on a college campus, the general consensus from students is that laptop stickers are an efficient way to do so.
