Finals week is approaching, and before that, there are a bunch of things I need to check off of my to-do list such as long papers, projects, and exams. It's easy to find yourself in a rut these days, but it's better if you are able to get yourself out of it. Listed below are a few songs that give me the strength to go on. Some are upbeat and some are mellow, but I guarantee you that all of them will either energize you or help you relax after a hard day or a long assignment.

1. Friend Zone - Danielle Bradbery

2. Save Myself - Ed Sheeran

3. Versace On The Floor - Bruno Mars

4. Clouds - Before You Exit

5. You There - Aquilo

6. Something Stupid - Michael Bublé feat. Reese Witherspoon

7. Issues - Julia Michaels

8. It Aint Me - Kygo, Selena Gomez

9. No More Sad Songs - Little Mix feat. Machine Gun Kelly

10. Sign Of The Times - Harry Styles

11. Easily - Bruno Major

Hopefully, you gain the motivation to get through the rest of the semester with the help of these songs. As you suffer through the next few weeks, remember to take frequent breaks and take little chunks of time to do the things you like to do -- don't get too burnt out.
