I've been on a major study grind lately, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't getting to my head a little. I made the decision of taking 10 hours of class over the course of this summer (something that I don't ever recommend doing unless you absolutely have to, which I didn't).

Nonetheless, it's too late to turn back, and when you're on the grind it doesn't hurt to have some tunes jammin' to help the time go by smoother. Here's a list of five albums I've been listening to recently. Most of them should look familiar but if you haven't listened to them before go ahead and give them a listen.

After all you never know what you could discover until you listen.

1. "Funeral" -- Arcade Fire

2. "Is This It" -- The Strokes

3. "The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place" -- Explosions In The Sky

4. "Parachutes" -- Coldplay

5. "Born To Run" -- Bruce Springsteen
