33 Indie Songs To Add To Your End Of Summer Playlist

Aubrie Jones

Summer. Ahhhh, what a great time, right? For most students, summer is the time to breathe and get away from all of that awful school work. Unfortunately, summer is starting to come to an end. In a couple of weeks, the long, sleepless nights full of cramming to get an A on that test, insane amounts of coffee and trying to stay away in those 8 a.m. classes will soon be upon us. Don't worry, I'm sad too (but also secretly VERY excited to be back, shhh don’t tell anyone). But, now that we're at this time of year, we could all use an indie playlist to relax and embrace our end-of-summer blues. So, sit back, put on these tunes, and just drown out any thoughts of the wave of responsibility, work, and homework that is about to knock you on your butt pretty soon.

Without further ado, here is my chill summer playlist.

1. "Welcome Home, Son" - Radical Face

2. "All The Pretty Girls" - Kaleo

&amp;amp;amp;lt;span id="selection-marker-1" class="redactor-selection-marker" data-verified="redactor"&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;amp;gt;

4. "Rivers and Roads" - The Head And The Heart

5. "I Found" - Amber Run

6. "Berlin" - RY X

7. "Howling" - RY X

8. "We Don't Eat" - James Vincent McMorrow

9. "Fire and the Flood" - Vance Joy

10. "Such Great Heights" - Iron & Wine

11. "Wait" - M83

12. "You Can't Live There Forever" - The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die

13. "Ophelia" - The Lumineers

14. "All I Want" - Kodaline

15. "Lost in the Light" - Bahamas

16. "3 Rounds And A Sound" - Blind Pilot

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. 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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
