13 Songs That Will Keep You Zen For Finals
Penn State University

So, I thought I had my life together going into finals week. No more papers due, no more presentations. I was wrong. I got slapped across the face last night with the sheer amount of studying I have to do. I'm running on three hours of sleep, so please bear with me.

I know that the only thing that has ever kept me sane in intense times of stress has been music. My main goal during finals has always been to find songs that both quell my ever rising anxiety and keep me focused on the task at hand. Before I start, I know that everyone studies differently, and specifically, those who study while listening to music tend to be particularly picky about what they listen to. My studying taste leans towards calm and mellow music that focuses in on slowing my thought process while addressing my anxiety. (Though of course there are a few exceptions!) Please give these suggestions some thought when you go to focus on your studies and may the grades be in your favor!

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
