As the weather gets warmer and your attention for classes gets shorter, it is that time of the year again. Spring is here, and that means that summer is on the way. And with summer comes many things: summer jobs, internships, vacations, and most importantly for many people — graduation.
While I am only a freshman in college, I do know how exciting graduation is (I honestly couldn't wait to get out of high school), and I know how important it is for college students because some of my friends here at Baylor are graduating, as well.
And while it is an exciting time for all graduates, this is an especially exciting time for honors students. After spending the last two years writing our thesis, getting recommendations from professors, and applying for med school, law school, grad school, or that perfect job... we're pretty much beat.
While being in the honors program is great, it comes with its own stresses, and the exhaustion level is real after four years (honestly it's real after four months, but who's counting?).
However, nothing can hype up a person quite as much as a playlist, and honors kids are no exception. While this playlist is applicable to all majors, this one goes out to you, my fellow honors students.
Here are 50 songs all graduating honors students need on their graduation playlist — these are guaranteed to hype you up for your walk across the stage, whether it is in a month or three years.
