The Story Behind The Sticker

Avery Jane Romey

Junior Avery Jane Romey says that the turtle sticker on her laptop came with an order of her favorite harem pants. “I have three pairs and I wear them all the time and it came with one of my orders and I just love it,” Romey said. “I love turtles and I love the design on it. It looks very artsy.” She says that while she’s a purist when it comes to her electronics, her water bottle is full of stickers. “There’s like some funny stickers on there,” she said. “There’s also like stickers that have Bible verses that mean a lot to me and things that are more deeper in that way.”

Kate Nichol

Junior Kate Nichol chooses to display stickers which represent specific memories in her life . “It’s like a little souvenir,” Nichol said, “like when me and my family went hiking, or when I went camping with my friends.” To Nichol, stickers act as a perfect memento that serve as reminders of special times, while dually allowing  for self-expression. “Some of them are just what I love to do or what I love in general. So like, I have some Mulan stickers, a couple of outerspace and then more of camping on the coast and stuff.”

Elizabeth Murphy

Senior Elizabeth Murphey says that all her stickers represent something to her.  “A lot of people just go like, ‘oh, I really like this sticker,’ but all of mine have some type of meaning stuck to me,” Murphey said. For her, she gravitates towards stickers of places she has been. “I get shirts from different places that I’ve traveled to and so I do that a lot with stickers because if I’m somewhere I’ve never been before or somewhere that I always go to,” she said. “I have a lot of surfing stickers on my car because it shows me and my hobbies and the places I’ve been.”
