5 Songs To Get You Through Finals

The Lariat

Finals got you down? Give these songs a listen while you're studying to get you through it!

1. Back Home by Andy Grammer

"I'm gonna need you to raise your glass" because soon, the semester will be over and everyone will be back home having fun with the friends you haven't seen in a while.

2. Only The Strong Survive by McFly

A personal favorite of mine, this song sums up how every college student feels at the end of every semester. "Every time we get up, are we destined to fall? And I'm asking myself is it worth this at all?"

3. Victorious by Panic! at the Disco

Save this for as you're walking out of your last final. Blast it as you walk away from your professor after handing your test in because "tonight we are victorious!"

4. The Fighter (cover) by Paradise Fears

Go "give 'em hell" after you listen to this amazing Gym Class Heroes cover. You'll feel empowered and ready to tackle anything after listening to it. (You'll also catch yourself learning the clapping part and doing it randomly.)

5. Chin Up, Kid by An Honest Year

What literally every kid wants to tell their professors during finals; "I'm more than this, I've tried and come so far." If you're worried you didn't do that well on anything, listen to this to build yourself back up. It'll have you feeling better in no time.

BONUS SONG:

Worse case scenario? You can always fall back on the go-to college struggle theme song:

Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
