Finals week is upon us and something that is probably just as important for studying for finals is the music you listen to (at least for me). Something that I’ve been into lately is listening to full albums while I study. Here are a few of my favorite study albums of 2017:

1. Ed Sheeran- ÷ or x

I think we can all agree that Ed’s music is some of the best study music. If you look up any premade study playlists on Spotify, you can definitely find an Ed Sheeran song on there. Between Perfect and Photograph his music will chill you out and get you into the zone.

2. Sleeping At Last- Covers, Vol.2

Some songs to look out for: Chasing Cars, You’ve Got a Friend in Me, and Today Has Been OK. Sleeping At Last takes already great songs and makes them sound beautiful and breathtaking. This is a must listen if you want slow, piano induced music. Definitely give their music a listen

3. Taylor Swift- Fearless

Love Story, White Horse, and The Best Day are some of Taylor’s best songs and this is an album that you can fully listen to and not have to skip because the songs get too abrasive or fast. It’s always a good time to reminisce on the old Taylor as well.

4. Grace VanderWaal- Just The Beginning

If you’re looking for something a little more upbeat and feel good music- listen to Grace VanderWaal’s new album. She has a super unique voice and her music can brighten your mood if you’re feeling stressed from finals.

These are just a few of my favorite albums to listen to at the moment as I cram for finals. Listening to full albums can introduce you to new music and get you in the zone for at least the hour that it is playing instead of changing artists every song and changing the vibe.

Happy Finals Season!
