A Guide To Decorating Your Laptop

Perfecting the palette that is your laptop with 3 by 2 inch pieces of vinyl is a big job.

A Guide To Decorating Your Laptop

RedBubble will be your best friend when you're in college. All of your friends will have stickers all over their laptops and you're going to want to hop on the decorative train.

You'll admire the girl who sits across from you in history for being so artsy and tell yourself that her Grey's Anatomy sticker is super adorable and you have to have it.

You'll spend hours and hours scrolling through sticker websites while you're supposed to be doing your sociology paper.

You'll wonder if you've included every possible aspect of yourself in sticker form. You'll say "this is SO me!" and "oh my god I HAVE to fit this one somewhere!" at least 20 times.

You'll check your mailbox at school every 3 hours to see if your cute, little RedBubble envelope has arrived and then rush back to your dorm and spend more time than you should arranging, placing, sticking, re-sticking and perfecting the palette that is your laptop with 3 by 2 inch pieces of vinyl.

I'm here to help with the decision making process on which stickers you'll be putting on your laptop.

Don't forget to include these:

Where you come from. Whether it be an outline of you state, the skyline of your city or your area code, show everyone where you call home.

What teams you root for. If you're a sports fan, cheer them on from your laptop. Patriots, Yankees, Packers or Cardinals, stick their logo on your laptop. And your favorite players too. (Free Tom Brady!)

What shows are in your Netflix Recently Watched. Find a sticker of Derek Shepard's face or the yellow umbrella from How I Met Your Mother. Buy a sticker of Olaf from Frozen. We all love our shows and movies.

What you're passionate about. Love science? Get a test tube sticker. Love to sing? Buy a microphone sticker. Love to skateboard? You get the picture. Be proud of what you makes you happy.

What you like to eat. My personal favorite stickers revolve around my favorite four letter word.. yeah, it's food. I have a sticker on my laptop that says "Rock out with your guac out." Pretty cool, huh?

Furry, four- legged things. Stick a cute little puppy on there or a epic roaring lion or something. Everyone loves animals. Choose your fav.

Some quote. "It's not the number of breaths we take, but the number of moments that take our breath away," "Live for the nights you'll never remember with the friends you'll never forget," "Dance like nobody is watching," etc... Or you could leave those out (sometimes they are painfully basic.)

Extremely basic choices. If you're wicked basic, you'll order a Vineyard Vines whale, an American Flag, some stupid emoji, a quote about coffee written in cursive, a Starbucks cup, your monogram or Lily Pulitzer or Vera Bradley printed letters of your sorority. It's cool, it's cool. Every girl has a little basic in them and your laptop is the best place to show it. Just not too much.

Now that your shopping cart had at least 15 different stickers in it, you've spent all the time you allotted to do homework in searching for them, you've hit the buy button and waited the 5 to 10 days for them to be delivered, it's time to decorate!

Good luck you laptop decorating master.

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.

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.
