Now that the last few weeks of the Spring semester are upon us, it's time that things get a little hard and it starts to become more difficult to focus. As someone who is motivated by music, I found that I was listening to these songs while working on projects and term papers.
I wanted to share with you 5 songs that can help you truck through the last few weeks of work and stress, and other ways to help you get through it.
1. Now or Never by Halsey
This song is so chill and honestly a great song to daydream to. You would think I would give you songs that would motivate you, but no. I wanted to share a chill song with you that would help you relax and maybe even daydream about your future soulmate and the summers that you'll share together.
TIP: Although it's a great idea to study as hard as possible, it's also good to take time for yourself and actually enjoy your last few weeks of the semester. You won't be able to focus after 4 hours of studying and cramming, so make sure you listen to Halsey to help calm you down.
2. Chasing Summer by Who's Molly?
Not many people know this band, but I think this actually one of the more motivating songs of the bunch. The song itself is about love and you can do with that whatever you please, but I would like to point out that we are all "Chasing Summer" right now.
TIP: When you want to quit, just remember that summer is only a few weeks away and that you're so close to being done with all the school work, at least for about 3 months.
3. Last Young Renegade by All Time Low
I love this song to pump me up. It increases your energy and helps you keep moving. It's not exactly a happy song but any rock song can help lift your mood.
TIP: Make sure you stay alert and ready when you work. If you have to listen to music or take breaks, it's better to ensure that you're always focused.
4. Ciao Adios by Anne-Marie
This song is for when "you're done". Every student feels this way, we all want to throw our work always and just say "oh well". Well, this song doesn't take about school specifically, you can say "Ciao Adios" and express every bit of frustration out during this song. That way you don't give up.
5. Silhouettes by Colony House
This song is so uplifting. It has a great tone and energy about it, and it describes that basically, everything is super hard, but "nothing silhouettes till the lights come on." Not everything makes sense and nothing is ever easy, and if you're having a rough time right now, there's a reason. It will all make sense after you get through the dark and you are successful.
TIP: Motivate yourself. Tell yourself that working hard will help you out in the long run, and you're where you are right now for a great reason.
