How To Make A Studying Playlist 101
The Utah Statesman

As you're getting back into the swing of things at school, you may or may not be swamped by homework and an uncomfortable amount of readings to complete. I have found that the best way to do so successfully is to have great music to listen to that improves your focus. Personally, I can't listen to music that has lyrics while trying to get through a tough reading. This one was particularly painful and made me fall asleep on my first attempt. Here are some musicians guaranteed to help you pass your classes:

1. Lindsey Stirling

She has a solid variety of cover songs on the violin as well as a decent amount of her own original work. To top it all off, she has great dance moves too, so if you need a brain break, you could always get up and attempt to dance along.

2. David Garrett

Garrett plays more rock cover tunes on his violin. Bonus points for the fabulousness of that hair.

3. The Piano Guys

These two fellows are known for their tendencies to play amazing music in incredible locations. They currently have a project going with the goal of playing at all seven wonders of the world. My personal favorites include their crossovers between classical music and more modern songs. Check out Michael Meets Mozart!

4. Hans Zimmer

This man is the composer of numerous soundtracks, including "Inception, "The Pirates of the Caribbean" series and "Spirit." Studying with "Davy Jones" playing in the background? Yes please!

5. Escala

Introducing the first of several quartets. Escala has several reinterpretations of classical songs, which are all pretty great.

6. Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra

They're as awesome and eclectic as the name suggests.

7. Simply Three

These three simply play cover songs and do a wonderful job of it.

8. Vitamin String Quartet

These four play flawless covers with the skill and precision of true artists.

9. Josh Vietti

With Vietti's music, you'll get more hip hop style covers.

10. Eklipse


This group will make you want to throw on an eye patch, until you realize it obstructs your vision while you're trying to get homework done.

11. Brooklyn Duo

Once again combining the best of both worlds, the piano and the cello, this couple plays many covers of pop songs.

12. Little People


Less of a string instrument basis can be found with their music, but the instrumentals are pretty fun.

13. 2Cellos

Their cover of "Thunderstruck" won me over.

14. Bond

My only problem with Bond, is that their music is so upbeat and intriguing that I get distracted.

15. Apocalyptica

If you learn nothing else, make sure you at least know that top hats are cool.

16. Dallas String Quartet

The final quartet can play cheery covers of pop songs or classical music. Take your pick!

With all of these suggestions, it's time to get a Pandora station going!

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
