Life can be fast-paced. It seems like summer just started, but here we are now, back at school for the fall semester already. It’s important to slow down, step away, and not let the whirlwind of responsibilities, assignments, and deadlines weigh you down. That’s where music comes in.
We are excited to bring you our monthly guest mix series Escape to Everest, the perfect getaway from all that life will hurl at you.
Drones are wicked cool. Paper airplanes are also wicked cool. LET’S COMBINE EM! That’s exactly what a few scientists did. Their product retails for about 50 bucks and can fly around 10 minutes on a full charge. You can attach a little camera to the front to get a live scope-out of what your plane sees, which definitely won’t be abused right?

What happens when a comedian, an artist, and a ping pong champ walk into a bar? Well, I don’t really know because two of them are underage, but I DO know what happens when they walk into the Yik Yak HQ: They crush it. And that’s what we’re all about! Grinding hard, day in and day out, to grow the app and make it even better for you Yakkers.
You’ve already met most of our motley crew, but it’s safe to say that this summer wouldn’t be the same if these three intelligent and witty guys weren’t around.
Say hello to Robert (the comedian), Casey (the artist), and Brexton (the ping pong champ).

It’s been an amazing journey since Brooks and I began building an app to let you instantly speak with those right around you, and we’re stoked to be here with you as y’all head back to campus. Thanks to you, Yik Yak has expanded across college campuses in the US and is quickly making its way into cities and universities around the world. It’s almost hard to believe at one point you couldn’t vote or reply on yaks, peek into other locations, or post a photo on Yik Yak! But even as we look back at how much the app has evolved, there’s still so much we want to do – all with the core goal of connecting you with the community around you.
