The Albion College student body is a diverse one and can be shown through laptop stickers. Some people can read a person by their body language and tone, but a laptop sticker can also show a lot about a person.
Three hot spots for laptops were chosen for article interviews: the library, the Kellogg Center’s fourth floor and the science complex.
Each unique sticker is accompanied by a direct quote from the student.

Capitalism — I got it at Briton Bash from the Albion College Republicans, and I thought it was funny because it’s true.

Mangonada and chicharones — I was really hungry, and I missed the food from Texas, and all the local restaurants would have them. They are my favorite Mexican snacks.
Stickers Describing Nicky McCann
Shark — It’s a funny image, and doing homework is brutal, and when I look at the shark, it makes me laugh.
“Finding Nemo” quote — I’m a swimmer and a fan of fish. I watched [‘Finding Nemo’] growing up because it was my sister’s favorite movie. My boyfriend eats fish and I don’t so when he eats sushi, I remind him ‘fish are friends, not food.’
Bee — I hate the “Bee Movie” with a strong passion, but I bought it because I read it in a funny accent.

Campfire — Every summer, we would go to a camping trip with my extended family, and I love the smell of the campfire smoke. The smell is a natural outdoorsy scent: strong and subtle.
