The Redbubble Era: The Sticker Obsessed Culture Is Taking Over

I felt alienated until I finally caved and ordered my own set of stickers to reflect all my favorite things.

The Redbubble Era: The Sticker Obsessed Culture Is Taking Over
Madison Morgan

Ahhh the lovely Redbubble era.

Before college, none of my friends had stickers on the cover of their laptops.

The only kids that had stickers on their laptops were the "skater boy" type. You know, the kids that strictly wore vans, black skinny jeans and a Thrasher or band tee. Those kids had all kinds of funky looking stickers. Laptops displaying a wide assortment of stickers including all the skater and or stoner brands--Neff, Huf, Thrasher, Vans, Supreme, and more.

College is a different story. Stickers on laptops are a college student's signature. The new norm if you will. Sit in any classroom or the library and you will be exposed to the sea of sticker vomit. You are guaranteed to see at least one sticker repping a hometown as well as the latest and greatest meme.

If you get bored during a group study sesh or need to take a study break, it is always fun to look around the room and see what stickers everyone decided to put on their laptop. You can get to know someone so well without even talking to them. All it takes is a single glimpse at their laptop!

I felt alienated until I finally caved and ordered my own set of stickers to reflect all my favorite things. So here lies my current collection of Redbubble stickers...subject to change.

Pro tip, if you lack the motivation to do homework or study, order some new stickers and it will definitely motivate you and get you excited to hop on the computer to grind out some work! Achieving the perfect aesthetic is sure to kick-start those good study habits.

1. The classic sorority sticker

It's necessary, gotta rep what is near and dear to my heart.

2. The quote that pushes me to be productive and actually get something done

Basically telling me to get out of bed, go to class and make something out of my day. Definitely have a love-hate relationship with all the free time I have in college.

3. The stickers that capture my love and adoration for Frank Ocean

4. My token of appreciation for Lil Chano from the 79th

5. My inner 'crystal loving, spiritual girl' coming out in sticker form

6. The sticker dedicated to calming me down in times of panic and stress

7. YouTube is my life, I am obsessed. Have always been, will always be. Gotta have a sticker for it

8. My extra and very unnecessary Daddy sticker + my not-so-extra, very necessary John Mayer sticker


9. The sticker meant to hype myself up and encourage me to continue my drive and passion in all facets of life

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
