25 Songs For The Ultimate Finals Study Playlist

Ah, the beloved finals week has officially arrived. The week in which every college student is losing their mind (and sometimes their GPA). College students everywhere are taking in shots on shots of espressos. Dozens are lacking an immense amount of sleep. Some, well, most students are frantically writing and doing anything they can to squeeze in a few extra points to bring up their grades.

If there is one thing that brings students together during these dreadful two weeks, it's those late-night, caffeine driven, my-mind-might-explode-at-any-second type of study sessions in the library at two in the morning. While some students prefer silence during their study sesh, others may need some musical motivation to push their studying along.

For those of you who are in need of some relaxing, yet blood-pumping music that will make you dance at your desk (like me), here's twenty-five songs that may do the trick:

(Full playlist here)

"Worst Nites" - Foster the People

Let's be real, these are some of your worst nights of college, but this funky, fun song will make you feel otherwise.

"Thank U, Next" - Ariana Grande

Giphy

This is what I'll be saying to myself after each and every test I have next week.

"Mad At It" - Dirty Heads

"Lost In Japan" - Shawn Mendes

Giphy

Don't lie. You know you secretly dance to this song in your dorm when your roommate isn't there.

"New Light" - John Mayer

"Wild Love" - James Bay

For when you need to tone it down a couple notches.

"Bust a Move" - Young MC

Giphy

For when you need to crank it up a couple notches! (You'll probably recognize this song from the very early "Glee" days.)

"Good Morning" - Max Frost

What better way to bring in the day of your finals than singing "Good morning!"

"Everything Now" - Arcade Fire

"Island in the Sun" - Weezer

Think of listening to this song as a form of meditation. Imagine you're on a beach, far, far away from these finals.

"The Middle" - Jimmy Eat World

"See You Again" - Tyler, the Creator

"People Suck" - Confetti

This song may be a bit explicit, but it's really the thoughts we keep having during this time of our lives.

"Loving is Easy" - Rex Orange County

"Successful" - Ariana Grande

A little bit of confidence never hurt anybody! Who better to motivate you than the queen, Ariana Grande, herself?

"I'm Upset" - Drake

"A Milli" - Lil Wayne

Giphy

How you'll be feeling once all your finals are over with.

"Alaska" - Maggie Rogers

"Still Feel." - Half Alive

"Don't Matter to Me" - Drake

"Queen" - Jessie J

Just a reminder to take pride in yourself and to take care of yourself during finals week. Just keeping reminding yourself "I am a goddess. I am a QUEEN."

"Hands to Myself" - Selena Gomez

"Billie Jean" - The Civil Wars

An acoustic version of a Michael Jackson classic. You can't go wrong!

"River" - Leon Bridges

 "My Life Sucks" - Scotty Sire

Giphy

This song truly emphasizes what we are all feeling during the rush of finals week.

Now that you have this eclectic playlist for your finals week study session, put on your headphones and get to studying!

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.

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.
