Now we all know the drill... walking around campus? Throw in your headphones and jam to some tunes. Now of course sometimes you have the occasional walking buddy or the sounds of nature are particularly interesting to you that day. However... sometimes you just have to keep to yourself and get your booty to class.
I wish as much as the next person that we could throw on some Netflix and watch our fave shows on the way to lecture, but that might cause some foot-traffic-congestion (or even worse you could run into a pole or something, ya know?)
Here are five different things you could listen to on your way to conquer the world (or your 10 AM):
1. Playlists to match your mood
Sure, music is the obvious choice here. But have you ever tried matching your music to your mood? Spotify is especially good for this. Need some "Wake up happy" music to help you get your sluggish self to your 8 AM? Need a pump-up motivation playlist to get you ready for that exam? From those to everything in between, just type it in the search bar.
2. Podcasts are making a comeback
So everyone and their mother seems to be making a podcast these days, which is good because that means there's sure to be something that peaks your interest! Podcasts have certainly become one of my favorite things to listen to while walking around campus. It's almost like you have company in your headphones (weird?). Anyway, Serial is a very popular one that's all about solving crimes, so if you are a Law and Order or Criminal Minds fanatic...this is right up your alley. I love Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe and Your Favorite Thing with Brandi Cyrus and Wells Adams. Kaitlyn and Wells are both "Bachelor" alum so they talk about that, but they are both very entertaining.
3. Audio books
If you're an avid reader, *cough cough* not me *cough cough* you could take your favorite books with you on the go! Maybe if you get lucky one of the textbooks you forgot to read has an audio version...fingers crossed.
4. Youtube your favorite comedian
Now we all know that sometimes in college you have to laugh so that you don't start crying. Block out all the stress with some good ole' fashion comedy.
5. Call someone!
Mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, bff, boyfriend, girlfriend: the possibilities are endless. Take the opportunity of the 5 or so minutes of free time to catch up with a loved one. Sometimes, I feel weird talking into the mic on my headphones because I think it looks like I'm talking to myself. Nevertheless, everyone does it, so LET THERE BE NO SHAME!!
I hope this short list gave you ideas for something new to listen to. Happy walking, everyone!
