Welcome to Yap University, where yapping is an art form, a science, and the best way to stay connected during the semester. We've teamed up with Walmart to give you all of the inspo and ideas for connecting on campus and beyond. Just think of us as your professors for all things - you guessed it - yapping!
Whether you’re walking and talking across campus with your bestie or inviting a new classmate over for a cozy coffee chat in your dorm, Keurig has everything you need to fuel your yap sessions this semester. So, before you settle in to dissect the latest celeb drama or hit the group text with a novel-length life update, head to walmart.com to shop Keurig’s yapper-approved essentials and so much more!
TIP 2: KNOW HOW TO BREAK THE ICE
We love an ice-cold bevvy, but an ice-cold conversation? Not so much. Even yap queens sometimes run out of things to say, so when the conversation runs dry, try asking an icebreaker question to spice things up. Check out these fun ideas for anyone you’re yapping with!
A NEW
CLASSMATE
• What did you listen to on
your way to class today? • Would you rather study in
your dorm or the library? • If you could pick one
musician to perform on
campus, who would it be? • What’s your favorite
dining hall meal?
YOUR
ROOMIE
• Are you more of a dog
person or a cat person? • What’s your go-to
coffee order? • If you could only watch
one movie for the rest of
your life, what would it be? • Would you rather give up
all social media or all
streaming services?
YOUR
BFF
• If you were a season,
which one would you be? • What’s the funniest thing you’ve read online recently? • Which fictional character
do you have beef with? • If you were writing my
dating app bio, what
would you say?
your
COWORKEr
• What’s the most random
fact you know? • What’s on your go-to
getting-ready playlist? • Would you rather have a
three-day weekend with a
Monday or Friday off? • If you had a podcast, what
would it be about and
what would you call it?
Heading to college for the first time or simply
want to widen your circle? Making new friends can feel super intimidating, especially in a college setting. But with these tips, you can feel as chill
as your Iced Refresher when you’re putting
yourself out there.
Making New Friends Just
Got a *Latte* Easier
TIP 1: CREATE YOUR COZY CORNER
Who doesn’t love yapping with their bestie while sipping on a fun little drink? Coffee shop vibes are always *immaculate*, but you don’t have to go far to enjoy them. Set up a mini coffee bar in your dorm, add some seating, and voila, you have the perfect place to spill the tea (and sip it).

TIP 3: SIP & SPILL
A yap sesh without a beverage? Couldn’t be us.
Sweet (Tea) Storytime
1. Fill a non-glass tumbler with ice,
followed by ¾ a cup of lemonade.
2. Pop an Iced Refreshers Strawberry Açaí Flavor K-Cup Pod into your Keurig® K-Iced Essentials Single Serve Coffee Maker and brew on the 8oz setting.
3. Top your bevvy with freeze-dried sliced strawberries and stir.
Piping Hot Goss
1. To your favorite mug, add a half teaspoon of brown sugar, a half teaspoon of honey,
and a dash of cinnamon.
2. Brew a Great Value Donut Shop 100% Arabica Medium Roast Ground Coffee Pod into the mug using your Keurig® K-Iced Essentials Single Serve Coffee Maker
on the 8oz setting.
3. Stir and top with your favorite type
of frothed milk.
Now that you’re an official yap scholar, it’s time to get out there and show off your skills. But first, head to Walmart.com or the Walmart App to stock up on all your back-to-college must-haves!
