Abstract :
Early 2020, unexpectedly, the world was hit
by the Covid-19 pandemic. The world of education has
also been greatly affected. Students are forced to study
from home for extended periods of time and in increased
uncertainty. Various problems arise, ranging from the
atmosphere at home to the child's mental self. Broadly
speaking, the problems arising from the Covid-19
pandemic: 1) have been reported in the mass media in
the form of various difficulties in doing assignments
during the study from home, both problems with an
internet connection, absence of direct companions,
unsupportive home atmosphere, and online workload;
and 2) possible long-term problems that have been
reported in various studies related to the long-term
impact of the pandemic, namely, psychiatric disorders
(i.e., stress and trauma). This research discusses student
writing that reveals problems in the form of creative
writing which is the result of community service
activities by the Faculty of Humanities, Universitas
Airlangga in 2020. Expressive creative writing allows
bad experiences to be expressed and becomes a path to
catharsis to reduce the negative impact of the COVID-19
pandemic experienced by high school students
