Last week, the weather in Tulsa dropped to a brisk 86 degrees Fahrenheit, leaving students to respond the only way they know how: long sleeves, sweatpants and sitting outside reading. Some were even seen turning the pages.
This week brings yet another miracle. O loyal supporters of the Weekly Yak: you are resilient, patient and very, very persistent. You are also certified uncs. The Weekly Yak has not been around since fall of 2024, and The Collegian has been asked at least four and at most 400 times to bring it back. We did not want to, but the quality of Yik Yak posts has declined so sharply and yakarma inflation grown so steep that someone simply had to intervene. So, in honor of the third anniversary of the first Weekly Yak in recorded human history (Sept. 25, 2023, a date historians rank just below the “moon landing”), it returns, this time without Hannah Moua. She graduated, we think. May she rest in peace.
For those who live under several rocks — yes, you, computer science majors — Yik Yak is where college students post things they believe deserve everyone’s attention. They are wrong. It’s also the most dramatic place at this university, sans the LPC. Historically, making the Weekly Yak meant you were pretty cool. Almost as cool as The Writer, some might say. This week is an exception, however, because lowkey you guys were not that funny. The bar was literally on the floor and half of you tripped over it. Here are the top Yaks, in no particular order, from the week of Sept. 21:
“CFC making everything mandatory but deodorant”
“I really wonder how some of these people in my classes got into TU at all, like how in the world are you making it here”
“Girls will say theyre spiritual and then describe psychosis”
“Genuinely what do ppl mean by fighting for men’s right? Their right to what?”
“This is a ginger appreciation post. I love gingers”
“Is the fish on fire again?”
“who gave my inner child a gun”
“I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM”
“I think I would have a better chance of making friends in prison than in college”
“Gonna scream into a pillow for a bit k”
“Technically we have all kicked a pregnant woman before”
“the war on drugs was crazy because they really spent 2 billion dollars to fight weed and weed won lol”
“me & this toilet against the world”
“Every yikyak I’ve ever seen has been both peak degeneracy and peak cornball somehow. I cannot communicate enough how much I would hate to see the world through y’all’s eyes.”
“Male birth control is free and it’s called holding a fish in your profile photo”
Do you want to be in the Weekly Yak? Amuse The Writer. I’m not Hannah, amusing me is easy enough. Free Palestine, always.
