We all do it. While sitting in traffic, bored out of our minds, we find amusement in reading the self-proclamations adhered to the bumper of the car ahead of us. Some bumper stickers offer amusement, while others infuriate the reader. From a few words strung together or a single image adorning a bumper, we make judgments about the personality, social status and self-worth of the driver. Sometimes these judgments are rash, over-simplifications of the car owner. Taken with a grain of salt, bumper stickers can offer a quick glimpse into the personality of the person behind the wheel.

In an effort to aid the students of Loyola in grasping what bumper stickers say about a driver's personality, The Wolf has broken down the hidden messages behind common bumper stickers seen around campus.

You are serious about the issues. Just remember, politicians do not hold an office forever. Keep a chisel at hand to make sure your political views remain up to date.

You like to keep things green. Too bad your fossil fuel-powered car is spewing out environmental toxins.

You like your music hardcore and want everyone to know it.

You have dedicated four years of your life to scholarship. Plaster your car with Wolf Pack pride - you've earned it!

Whether you're a local or are calling New Orleans home during your collegiate years, you like to let others know you are a proud member of the cult of NOLA.
