I got one when I started riding the bus in middle school so my parents could keep track of me for safety and communicate with me about transportation stuff

wait i’m so curious how old are you and why are you using yikyak at your age (in the least rude way possible)…i thought yikyak was mainly for college students and i say this as one who was literally born AFTER the first iphone came out 😭

Why is it so incomprehensible for some of you to understand that some people come back after may years to finish their education, get a graduate degree, or just get another degree they’re interested in? This app probably got advertised to them in some way so they joined. I’m a graduate assistant at my college and two of the other GAs (of 4 total) are in their 40s. It really isn’t that deep

No but it didn’t take much critical thinking to understand the “why” to your question. Like, YY isn’t just for college students and I get the question, really, but you could have easily answered it yourself too

obviously i could deduce a possible answer but generally they teach you not to assume facts about other people’s lives when you could simply ask ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ even if i were a 40-something grad student i wouldn’t necessarily be drawn to an app populated primary by undergrads so i’m curious. sue me
