Life on campus greatly affects the comfort of students in carrying out activities on campus. Within the scope of the Pamulang Viktor University campus, there are several students who are starting to worry about how quiet activities on campus are after they died due to the COVID-19 pandemic for 2 years. Some students, especially students from the Faculty of Letters, have begun to formulate activities with the theme of literature, positive activities that can build other students to take part in a forum to discuss works. And on June 20, 2022, a campus hangout called "Rutinan Sastra" was formed.

Rutinan Sastra is a hangout to discuss work for Pamulang University students. They hold an agenda that is routinely carried out every Friday in the parking area on the 7th floor of Pamulang University, Viktor campus. The agenda carried out include; reading, discussing, and appreciating a literary work. As students of the Faculty of Letters, they make this hangout as a place to study outside the classroom, which is free of expression but still upholds the ethics of discussion. Literature routines have carried out 4x their weekly activities, as for the theme of each meeting they have discussed works on Life & Nature, because every meeting there is a theme for the work to be discussed.

The students prepare several works before they are finally read on the literary routine agenda, the writer reads his work and others can ask about the meaning or some of the metaphorical dictions used in the works that have been read. During the 4 weeks running, about 30 works have been collected, and the plan is to make an anthology of literary works as their archives. The themes of each meeting will be part of the anthology. The 5 predetermined themes are as follows: Life, Nature, Politics, Struggle, Death. The theme was determined by voting at the first meeting and was mutually agreed upon by the members of the Literary Routine.

"We are literature students, don't we want to try to create a forum outside the classroom to hone analytical skills in the field of literature or create a work. It's a shame if it's just going to college-going-to-college-going home. Moreover, in class we only learn so Literary critics don't just become writers. Students are only asked to analyze and critique literary works." Said Wilman, a 5th semester student of the Faculty of Letters who took part in establishing the Literature Routine.
