Ever virtuous, ever resilient, is the student body of TU. Several times throughout the past week, we were faced with autumn storms, but just to be clear, the tornado warnings never included the TU campus. Within the same week, Mayo lost power, women lost power and tornadoes “touched down” in the streets because it knows that the Golden Hurricane will never make a touchdown on the field. It’s nice to know that football coaches aren’t the only people keeping their jobs despite being ill-fitted for them. Not to be too political, but I think that we should redo daylight savings so that we can actually sleep through that extra hour instead of spending the nights in our moldy bathtubs.
This upcoming week, maintain your resilience, because I heard that our tagline for next year is that TU has the most resilient students per capita. Also remember that sharing isn’t always caring, unless it’s the whereabouts of the Chic-fil-A thief. It’s time for the chicken to pay for its chicken. All this and more transpired on Yik Yak—the not-so-safe space for frat boys, chicken lovers, and political chalkers. However, here are the top ten posts from this past 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:

It’s not the Weekly Yak without my favorites, and I’m glad that, for now, I have the right to choose them:
“I will be even more annoying and gay for the next four years to compensate. God bless” – Tulsa
