I can often gauge the condition of students from YikYak. The more whimsy the posts have the healthier I assume people are. This week I think everyone could use a little bit of therapy. It is February after all. That being said:
2/7:
The Maine Campus endorses very few messages on this app, but here is one: “hey y’all with valentines being next week i know people get sad but here’s a reminder: even if you don’t have anyone, someone, where out there, loves you for you. Even if you don’t think so, then love yourself. You are amazing. Much love folks.” Thanks ‘emmafeet25,’ I love you too.
“Depression can’t hit a moving target depression can’t hit a movie target depression can’t hit a movie target.” It is okay, daylight savings is only a month away. We are almost there.
“Where the weird brunettes at.” In the tunnels I suppose.
Oh and then there’s the guy who got arrested for driving on the mall. “Update 2, he got arrested and his friends came to pick up the car.” Interestingly, someone commented “I can’t wait to read about him on the Maine Campus updates.” Well, here we are. Sometimes I forget this is the actual purpose of this beat.
“I am like a shark in that if I stop moving, I will die inside this Target.” I love you ‘critical_stinker.’
Speaking of ‘critical_stinker,’ “Maine Campus i don’t know if you can hear me but please bring copies of the newspaper to Dunn and Corbett I stumbled across one in the lobby and ate it like i’ve never eaten before and now i am hungry for more!” Anything for you.
Speaking of hunger, ‘critical_stinker’ was told by CoStar to “talk to people who are as hungry as you are.” They asked “how hungry.” Someone responded “very.” with a photo of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
2/8:
Then ‘guiding_moonlight’ asked “So did the wide load show up or.” That is not any way to talk about your mother.
While I may not give a serious answer, two users offered their expertise. The first commenter said “Yes.” The second said “Not yet, delayed due to morning snow in western Me. Moving Sunday will arrive between 12-4.” Good thing no one ever agrees. Also, why do you know all this?
“A reminder that the military/police and the furry fandom are fundamentally incompatible with each other,” said ‘york.groundhog.’ You kind of have a point if you squint a little bit.
“Who egging cars at the ave.” Someone cool and sexy probably.
“To the girl who got thrown up on at radon I am so sorry but girl you looked hot as f*ck even with barf in you.” The fall of Radon will become the modern day Rome.
“Hunter Biden liking crack and baddie latinas doesn’t seem so bad now huh.” Yep.
A big topic of conversation this week was the UMaine tunnels. Currently, the Maine Campus can not comment on the validity of these statements. However, it would be failing our duties not to report on them. ‘Marijuana’ posted “spent ten minutes googling “umaine orono tunnels” bc I didn’t want to admit they weren’t real.”
“True love is telling your partner about the wet dream you had of shadow the hedgehog last night.” I think true love might be keeping that to yourself.
