Graduation may seem light years away. But no need to sweat because it will be here before you know it.

Along with graduation comes plenty of stress. There is an open house party that isn’t going to plan itself, a slide show that needs to be created, food to be cooked, and you cannot forget the music! Honestly, music can be the worst part.

You want something that is relevant yet not too sappy, something you can still jam out to. Not to mention, grandma has virgin ears so it needs to be remotely clean. Look no further, my friend, below is a list of 72 songs to use for any graduation occasion!

And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
