You're all looking for love on it
Yik Yak is the weapon of choice this exam season, and if you haven’t already discovered it, it’s going to give you hours of procrastination.
There are people looking for love, bitching, and, of course, moaning about how much work they have to do. The app even has the feature of viewing Other Top Yaks outside of your area. The possibilities are endless.
Hilarious
The new Tinder
Many lonely students have flocked to Yik Yak in the hope they’ll find love. Ailish, a first year Politics and International Relations student, had her number posted on Yik Yak without her knowing, and she was met with hordes of suitors. One pursued her interest by giving her a fake name and attempting to woo her under the guise of one of his friends’ Facebook accounts. He justified this by saying: “I just always give my mates’ name to people I don’t know.”
Gossip column
Yik Yak is also infamous for the constant slating of our fellow students, a few names mentioned more than others. Whether it be how many people they’ve shagged or who has the shittest beard, Yik Yak is always super quick with the bitchin’.
Oh does he now? Interesting
Procrastination diary
Spend five minutes on Yik Yak and it won’t take you long to find out how bored everyone is. Avid yakkers log their lack of progress for all to see, and if anything, they make us feel better about our educational shortcomings.
Subject snobbery
We’re at university to pursue the subjects we love, but there’s always someone who has to ruin it. Degree snobs are the worst. Who cares if you’re doing the hardest degree in the world? It doesn’t give you any more right to be here, sit down.
Halls life
Yik Yak gives any outsiders a real taste of what it’s like to live in halls, literally. From the surreal antics taking place to the disgusting deeds cabin fever forces us to commit, Yik Yak can be used to document it all.
Library campers
If you set your basecamp as BJL what you’ll get is passive aggressive Yaks about your lack of library etiquette, or complaints about the apparently less than adequate facilities provided by the BJL staff. Yik Yak is full of warnings about the wrath of the dreaded library womble, or how many computers BJL doesn’t have.
Either way, if you ever get a Yik Yak written about you, we’re sure you can take it.
