Mac ID Card Question
It's probably the dumbest question ever but...is the validation sticker suppose to be larger than the box beside your photo that says "Place Validation Sticker Here"? o.o I don't wanna mess this up. LOL. I'm retarded. I know.

Lol yes...it's not going to fit perfectly. Only a freshman would worry about this I actually have about four stickers on top of each other by now, and it's a little lopsided too lol

Come on, don't lie to him. It has to fit perfectly or else you won't be able to write your exams or use the bus

I tried to place mine as straight as possible. And yes, the sticker is slightly larger, so it helps. xD

Not true. I struggled to get the glue off from the old sticker for about 10 minutes then spent another few trying to make sure the sticker lined up perfectly with the edge of the card.

...this is the kind of stuff I'm doing during the last days of summer.

I'll probably be following in your footsteps as soon as I collect my sticker.

Question: How easy is it to get the old sticker off?

It's easy to get the sticker off but it leaves behind a lot of glue. I tried to get rid of it (unsuccessfully) by rubbing it off with my fingers. Then I used some rubbing alcohol and it came right off. >_>

You could also just put the other sticker in the exact same spot as the previous. Or you can take the old sticker and stick it on and off wherever there is leftover glue. That usually how I take off glue on other things.

Am I the only one who realizes how silly this thread is? IT'S JUST A STICKER.

I was going to say "Use water!", but yeah, rubbing alcohol works much better...

I'm glad it comes off easily, I was afraid it would be the type that sticks and then when you try to remove it, the top layer comes off and leaves a trail of white backing all over the card. ANNOYING.

As long as it fits on the card and you don't cover your picture with it, you're good!

Don't try to take it off if it is a little bit crooked. I did that last year and ended up ripping it a little bit making it even worse.
