What the shuck is happening?
A UNL student started a petition asking the university to allow for a mental health day. Spring break was canceled this semester, and students are taking classes for 15 weeks with no breaks.

Elfers, who recently celebrated his 37th birthday, has been tearing up the Lincoln music scene since 2002, even managing to branch out and tour the country with his pop-punk band The JV Allstars. In the pandemic, however, Elfers said he has been mostly stuck watching competitive eating videos and writing a new concept album about a death race tournament.
