This Weeks YuckDate 2/11-2/18

As another week unfolds on campus, YikYak serves as the virtual town square where students share their thoughts, complaints, and the latest happenings. From relationship woes on Valentine's Day to anonymous accusations and protests, here's a snapshot of the week's YikYak updates.

1. WEATHER BEE FALLS ILL:

In an unexpected turn of events, the campus weather bee took a hit, leaving students to coin the term "under-the-weather bee." The response was both creative and humorous, showcasing the unique charm of campus banter.

2. VALENTINE'S DAY: A ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS:

Valentine's Day brought a mix of emotions, with one student expressing how the school made them feel "ugly." A heartbreaking breakup on the day of love left a student lamenting a three-year relationship, while another YikYakker hoped to inject a touch of humor by suggesting that a seemingly affectionate couple might be unknowingly related.

The "ick" made a prominent appearance over the weekend, accompanied by the launch of "Sex Advice 2.0." Despite the romantic intent, the feature quickly attracted its fair share of creeps in pursuit of anonymous encounters.

3. ANONYMOUS ACCUSATIONS STIR CONTROVERSY:

Serious allegations emerged as a YikYak user accused a student of sexually assaulting two women at a recent event. The anonymous post included a detailed description of the student’s appearance and a possible Instagram account. Similar accusations of mass roofies at another fraternity were reported to the police, sparking concerns over the anonymity of the claims.

In a separate incident, a Snapchat claim about being stabbed with a fentanyl needle while "fratting" was debunked by vigilant YikYak users, highlighting the platform's role in stirring controversy through uncheckable claims and sources.

4. UNION PARTY SHUTDOWN AND STUDENT ALTERCATION:

The weekend took a tumultuous turn as a party hosted by Union was shut down by the police, leading to an alleged student altercation. No concrete details have emerged other than several anonymous witness accounts that state a student had an aggressive interaction with a police officer that might have become physical. Debate remains around the event and what caused it, if exhaustive use of sirens or student intoxication were the cause of upset. The details surrounding the shutdown and the ensuing clash remained a hot topic of discussion on YikYak. We will update this page with any new information.

5. EMU DIE-IN: ETHICAL OR CONTROVERSIAL?

Students voiced mixed opinions on a demonstration by Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), where participants lay on the EMU floor to raise awareness about the ongoing situation in Palestine. The ethical implications of the protest sparked a lively debate, questioning the purpose and impact of such actions.

6. MIDTERMS: A NEVER-ENDING SAGA:

Midterm season descended upon campus, stretching what was supposed to be a single week of testing into what feels like a term-long ordeal for many students. Fatigue set in as exams extended over multiple weeks, prompting one student to humorously compare midterms to a two-humped camel.

Amid the stress, a student claimed to have aced a history exam solely by listening to the hit musical Hamilton. The relatable struggle of staring at an exam question and suddenly recalling the answer resonated with many on the platform.

7. WINTER TERM WOES:

As winter term continued its chilly grip, one student expressed their longing for warmer days, counting down to spring term and the prospect of riverside relaxation in nothing but a bikini. The sentiment echoed the universal desire for a break from the winter blues.

8. TO CLASS OR NOT TO CLASS:

Confusion erupted this weekend over misinformation regarding school cancelation this president’s day. Consulting the UO academic calendar revels that students do in fact have class. Any class cancelations are specific to individual teachers and not applicable to the larger university schedule. Angry students impatient with the confusion and misinformation have been adding fuel to the fire only antagonizing trolls hoping to trick students into missing class on a false holiday. While the trolling is enjoyable, don’t get got. stay safe out there ducks.
