As students, we've had to decide between cheap but bad or expensive but great… until now! Spotify Premium is the ultimate combination of cheap and great. You can't get better than that when you are in college and its only $9.99 a month! If you are wondering what exactly this is or if it is even worth it, here are 5 reasons why students should get Spotify Premium.
1. Access to any music
With the upgrade to Spotify Premium, you are able to listen to almost whatever you want whenever you want. Most artists make their music accessible on Spotify, and yes, Taylor Swift I am calling you out for this but it's all good now. With this upgrade, you are freely able to skip through songs, playing anything on demand and have uninterrupted listening with no advertisements; which to me sounds pretty good already.
2. Listen to music anywhere at any time
Spotify Premium enables you to download playlists offline, which allows you to listen even at times with no service or just on airplane mode. As a commuter student and someone who is still on her parent's phone bill, long train rides and walks are extremely boring and I am not trying to waste data and run up my phone bill,
3. Playlists that help you study
I am the type of person that needs to listen to music, or at least have something on in the background when doing work or studying. I find myself getting distracted because I obviously want to listen to songs I like but get way too into the lyrics and just lose all hope in doing any work. But with Spotify Premium, there are a plethora of study playlists that you are able to access and listen to. These study playlists tend to be instrumentals, classical, or acoustic relaxing and focus intensive music. You can try different ones out and see which one(s) works best for you. Some of my favorites are Peaceful Piano, Instrumental Study, and Perfect Concentration.
4. Not just limited to music
Sure, access to any music anytime is pretty cool, but with Spotify Premium, you're not just limited to music! Audiobooks may not be for everyone but if they are right up your alley then this is a great option. Audiobooks and poems can now be listened to! Going along with road trips, doing homework or even just running errands, downloading and listening to an audiobook will help pass the time. Classics like The Great Gatsby and Pride and Prejudice are just two of the many audiobooks you can listen to thanks to Spotify Premium. If you are looking for a good read, like I always am, this is a great alternative to traditional books; “which is like so 20th century”.
5. Spotify Premium for Students
Had to save the best for last! As students, words like “discount” and “now with Hulu”, should peak your interest already. If you thought $9.99 a month was a great deal, listen to this! Now with the new Spotify Premium for Students, just with a bit a verification to prove you are a student, you are able to access Spotify Premium with Hulu and only for the discounted price of $4.99 a month for both! You may be thinking to yourself, “Wait really? Only $4.99 a month for access to a world of music and a world of movies and TV shows?”, the answer, to put it briefly, is “Yes, yes you can”.
These are just a few things that come with the upgrade to Spotify Premium and hopefully, these 5 reasons have convinced you to get it! Hope you enjoyed!
