No one can deny the negatives of Yik Yak. It’s got a lot of inappropriate posts, including some that target others.
At The University of Texas, however, it really has become a big part of the culture (along with other colleges across the country). UT’s Yik Yak stream doesn’t stay quiet long, and many even rely on it as a sort of news source, to find out about what’s going on around campus. While some don’t use it the right way, others simply express their thoughts and observations on it, making quality comments and posts, and giving some value to the app.
In the spirit of the Yakers with good intentions, here are some of the best clean posts from Yik Yak for the UT area:
- Ya me and my girlfriend are in a long distance relationship. She lines in kin solving and I’m in Jester. We’re making it work.
- I wonder how many calories I burn when I run away from my responsibilities.
- Feeling guilty every time I blast music to ignore everyone handing out flyers.
- It’s always awkward saying bye to teachers. Do I hug them?
- A college kids 2 favorite words: “free” and “cancelled”
- The “just went to the store now I have to taste everything I bought” phase
- Whenever I trip on campus I immediately check yik yak to make sure no one posted about it.
- I don’t feel like college has made me smarter, but moreso just better at winging it
- My professor has a mohawk.
- Down voting your own yak to put it out of misery.
- Just because one person coughs doesn’t mean the whole class has to start
- I always stare at people and can’t make myself stop sometimes.
- I don’t mean anything by it, but I think this girl in my class legitimately dislikes me because of it #mybad
- The guy who makes the dream posts at night is cool.
- He is me & he is a very respectful young man.
- My teacher assigned a ten thousand word essay today. Some dude in the back got up and said I don’t even know ten thousand words and left the room
- No mom. I’m in college. You may not have the password to my Blackboard account.
