The other day I walked past some freshmen pointing at The Weekly Yak and laughing together. They didn’t even know that it was me walking past them. Anonymity is such a gift. Living in the shadows is a blessing. But blessings cease at the cusp of midterms, which is where this institution finds itself at this point in time. Today’s challenge: look in the mirror without telling yourself that you regret enrolling in that Block 2.
Luckily you have a platform to find solace in your unhappiness — the ever-addicting, ever-present, ever-comforting — Yik Yak. If you’re new to reading something other than Reddit, or simply can’t afford to purchase the means to acquire access to the app, I thank you for joining me on The Weekly Yak. This is where I collect the best posts from our school’s social app, where students air out frustrations and find fault in all that their tuition pays for.
Here are the top 10 yaks from the week! As always, we refrain from reusing posts that were posted in previous weeks and those in which graphics provide the majority of the context for the posts:
“How tf you gonna be [redacted] at football AND always skip class? pick a struggle.” – Tulsa
“Protest in front of KA supporting SA and DA victims is October 5th at 5pm. Canes and drinks will be provided as we raise awareness!!” – Tulsa
“The football players must have a humiliation kink the way scooter usage increased 1000% after saturday” – Tulsa
“I GOT THE INTERNSHIP!!” – Tulsa
“Told yall to take the football scooter privileges away. Make them walk to class” – Tulsa
“Hopefully the Football team got some job information at the career fair. They’re gonna need it after they graduate” – Tulsa
“Just made Brad stop his car by pushing the button on Delaware I feel so powerful” – Tulsa
“Can someone make fan art of all the frat presidents kissing each other? for science thanks!” – Tulsa
“This is Brad here. We will be cutting the budget more to invest more money for the football team. Trust the process. Brad out (peace sign emoji)” – realtubrad
“To Brad: can we defund the football team and give that money to the SGA/SAB fund that you cut? Much love (heart emoji)” – Tulsa
Now that those are out of the way, here are my top favorites from the week. Remember to not say “hi” if you happen to see me on campus:
“God is good (prayer/high-five emoji)” – Tulsa, in response to “Fire at kep??” – Tulsa
“Can a parking tutorial be mandatory before applying to tu bc wtf” – Tulsa
“Nothing like seeing the people I KNOW are cheating post their boyfriends today” – Tulsa
“The person in charge of the weekly yak is basically the radio rebel of TU (crying emoji)” – Tulsa
“Prof Pagan would absolutely demolish swiper with a single punch, do not compare him to that wench” – Tulsa, in response to “Prof Pagan is just bald Dora” – Tulsa
Do you want your Yaks to be featured next week on The Collegian? Be funny. Make Hannah laugh. That rarely happens. Free Palestine, which I am promoting as a nobody in butt[redacted] Oklahoma.
