So, school is starting back. I know, I can't believe it either. When you think about school beginning again, it's highly likely that you have mixed emotions about it. Personally, I can't wait to be back on campus with my friends. It will be so nice to be going out on the weekends, watching movies with pals, and moving into a brand new dorm room with unlimited decorative possibilities. However, I sure wish that the homework, exams, and tears could be put on hold. I'm sure you feel the same way I do about the new year, but luckily some good jams will make the whole process much less painful. Here's some of my favorite songs at the moment that will carry you through studying, parties, and working out.

1. For your workout.

It's the beginning of a new year, and this means a clean slate. It's time to get back in touch with those fitness goals you set for yourself over the summer, and attack your health and wellness with new vigor. This can be the year that you take control of your physical health, and these songs will help pump you up!

"Too Good" // Drake ft. Rihanna

"Don't Mind" // Kent Jones

"Really? Yeah!" // Kyle

"Really Really" // Kevin Gates

"Nightshift" // Pryde

2. For those all-nighters.

It's inevitable that one night this year you will find yourself staying up until the wee hours of the morning cramming for an exam or writing a research paper. When the caffeine just isn't enough, these songs will give you a boost.

"The Princess Diaries Waltz" (From the Soundtrack) // John Debney

"Sleeping in My T-Shirt" // Zak Waters

"Love on The Brain" // Rihanna

"Better" // Kyle Dion

"Prisoner" // Jordan Bratton ft Chance the Rapper

3. For your nights with gal pals.

It's super important to maintain your friendships at school, even if homework and exams make you want to hole up in a corner and be alone. This girl power playlist will make time with pals super fun!

"Sit Still, Look Pretty" // Daya

"Needed Me" // Rihanna

"Side to Side" // Ariana Grande ft Nicki Minaj

"Cool Girl" // Tove Lo

"Me Too" // Meghan Trainor

4. For motivation.

Without fail, there will be some days when you just feel like you can't keep going. A test may have ruined your day, or you might have experienced a subtle snub from a friend. No matter the stressor, these songs will get you back on track!

"Lunatic" // Andry Grammer

"Once in a While" // Timeflies

"You Gotta Be" // Des'ree

"Must Have Done Something Right" // Reliant K

"Satisfied" // Crystal Lewis

5. For parties.

Nothing helps quell the week's stress like dancing the night away with friends on the weekend. These songs will make you instantly cooler!

"Broccoli" // D.R.A.M. ft. Lil Yachty

"Controlla" // Drake

"For Free" // DJ Khaled ft. Drake

"I'm About to Catch a Body" // Dreezy - Xtra Remix

"On Purpose" // Dougie F ft. 40 Cobras

I know that school - and the work that comes with it - starting back can be a bit of a drag, but hopefully these tunes make it all a little bit better. Let me know if there's any songs you think I left off! Happy listening and good luck with school! Crush it.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit.
