6 Haiku: Life in Iowa City

Hi dear professor
Stop overloading students
Now is not the time
Take our spring break
But wait why only two days
Why not give seven
Stop, Put on your mask
It's really not that hard friend
Things are different now
I'm falling apart
Can I blame it on COVID
I feel so alone
Black Lives Still Matter
or is it no longer cool
Where have you all gone
The cold winter leaves
But the assignments still grow
No sunshine for us
These are reflections and shared conversations between myself and others as we grapple with the reality that is life as a university student in Iowa City.
