9 Songs to Get You Through Finals Week

Don't stress out, rock out!

9 Songs to Get You Through Finals Week
Rolling Stones

As a college student, few things are more stressful than finals week. In fact, the apocalypse itself may be outshone by the stress of that upcoming test. Few things can be done to alleviate the anxiety surrounding the last few weeks of the semester, but a few tunes you can turn up and jam out to is sure to help you make it to the end.

1. 'Till I Collapse; Eminem

Because sometimes the anxiety catches up, and you just might collapse. Plus, Eminem is Eminem - you can't get much more motivational than Marshall Mathers.

Check out the song here on iTunes.

2. Jukebox Hero; Foreigner

There are few 80's songs that get me moving, but man this is one of them. I like to play Jukebox Hero when I feel like I'll fail my classes. Because even if I fail, I'll just pick up my six string and rock out.

Check it out on YouTube.

3. Don't Stop Believing; Journey

Oh yeah, you knew I'd go there, didn't you? That song played at nearly every prom, homecoming, and high school dance in the history of humanity. Don't let the 98 you need on your final in order to pass the class get you down, just believe, man.

Take the midnight train right on over to their live performance.

4. Stressed Out; Twenty One Pilots

As if most college girls weren't already in love with Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, the American rap duo has offered their condolences for finals week. Somehow, in musical prose, the two captured every college students inner-thinking, "When did life become so hard? When did I grow up?" Don't worry, this song will throw you back to pre-k.

Their official music video is quite nostalgic, might I add.

5. Me, Myself & I; G-Eazy

Even if you don't care for the rap genre, G-Eazy and fellow track star Bebe Rexha blend a chorus and hook together like none other. The reigning #1 song on iTunes will make you feel capable of anything, and remind you that believing in yourself is the key to success of any kind.

Find the clean version on iTunes.

6. So What; P!NK

Sure this song is 8-years-old, but does that mean that it isn't still one of the greatest party songs of all time? Even if you fail every final you take, so what - you're still a rock star, right?

P!NK may even own the title of best music video on this list.

7. Hakuna Matata; Lion King

Okay, okay, this isn't actually a "song" per se, but it's far too accurate to leave off this list. After studying for six hours and still feeling lost, just let Timon and Pumba soothe your soul. You can pass that test, because it means no worries, for the rest of your days.

In case you've never seen Disney's greatest movie to date, here's their problem-free philosophy.

8. Roar; Katy Perry

If you watched Super Bowl 49, you should understand that Katy Perry's halftime performance likely sparked the New England Patriots unlikely 10 point comeback. If Katy could motivate 52 grown men in the biggest performance of their life, I think it's safe to say that this song can will you to passing that test.

Relive left shark and the entire Super Bowl XLIX halftime show here.

9. Hold On, We're Going Home; Drake (ft. Majid Jordan)

Once that last test is finished, the last box is packed, and the last college meal of the semester is eaten, it's time to head home. Nothing may feel better than that drive or flight back, but Drake can certainly help.

Hold on to your seats, because this is one interesting music video.

If these songs don't get you through the last two weeks, there's not a whole lot that will; even the 8 hours of studying you did last night.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
