1. 'Jazz Vibes'

This playlist is the auditory equivalent of getting a Swedish massage while simultaneously being told that your student loans were paid off. These mellow, lo-fi tunes have jazzy undertones to make you feel like you are sipping tea in a cute cafe in the heart of Paris reading the newspaper in 1950. These songs flow seamlessly into one another to make studying seem like the most enjoyable, tranquil activity in the world.

Personal testimony: In high school I was dreadfully bad at chemistry (hence why I'm in Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication right now), and to get my homework done for that class, I would toss on the 'Jazz Vibes' playlist on Spotify. The smooth, instrumental house sounds were perfectly calming without being too distracting and it allowed for the only head space in which I could complete my chemistry homework.

2. 'PITBULL REVIVAL'

This Spotify playlist is a collaborative work of art that my friend and I worked on for over 3 years (#subtleflex) to cultivate the best, most irreplaceable combination of songs that all have either (a.) Pitbull (b.) Rihanna (c.) Beyonce or (d.) David Guetta influences or similar vibes.

As we all know, Pitbull (may he rest in peace; he's not dead yet but we might as well start putting good energy out there for him now) is one of a kind. How can one man be so bald, but create such LIT songs?!?! The world may never know. Anyways, Mr. 305 creates such a unique sound that makes you want to dance in a nightclub in Brazil with JLo and Shakira by your side and that is a feeling that we deserve to experience ALL the time.

Waking up for your 10:10? Hotel Room by Pitbull.

Hyping yourself up before a date? Countdown by Beyonce

Playing with your dog one last time before you have to put him down? Mr. Saxobeat by Alexandra Stan

If you EVER, and I mean EVER, feel the need to shimmy your shoulders, body roll those hips and get a lil nostalgic about middle school parties, this playlist is a MUST.

3. Hot Girl Summer

Listen, let's be honest with each other. We all have those songs that we would rather never listen to whilst (ya I used that word) in the presence of our parents/teacher/younger siblings/employers. However, we are young. We have the rest of our lives to listen to socially acceptable music, so 'Freak Nasty' by Megan thee stallion has be a song you listen to at some point in your life. Might as well be right now!

ALSO: If it hasn't already occurred to you, it's hot g*rl semester.

This Spotify playlist is the exact antithesis of sad boi hours. It is humanly impossible to listen to a playlist featuring songs by City Girls, Missy Elliot, Nicki Minaj, H.E.R. and Janet Jackson and NOT want to change the world while wearing a crop top. Just saying.

Am I listening to this playlist right now??! None of your business.
