Blog: Hey It’s Me, The Only Other Person On Yik-Yak

VASSAR COLLEGE – Hey, what’s up. You probably think you don’t know me, but actually we chat all the time. How? Because I’m the only other person on Yik-Yak. It’s just you and me buddy.  You may think that the comments on the Yik-Yak are other students and that the dialogue between them helps make up the collective consciousness of the Vassar community as a whole. Nope, it’s just me. Well, and you also. Speaking of, remember that epic debate you had on Yik-Yak about animal rights with those pro-Seaworld commenters? All me baby! I don’t even care about whales! Hell, I can’t even swim.

How do I do it? Easy, I have 56 iPhones and 2 Blackberries. I use the iPhones to comment on Yik-Yak and the Blackberries in case my chair gets wobbly. I also… Wait, sorry I just got a notification… Gotta respond to this comment real quick… Oh wait, another notification!  It’s from the comment I just posted, lemme just type out a response real quick… Whoops, just got another notification, hold on I’ll get back to you in a second…

P.S. Kik?
