There is no denying it—the three weeks that follow Thanksgiving are always the busiest and most stressful of the semester. This is the time to meet deadlines for papers and projects before reading week and final exams arrive. For me, this is not only my busiest semester ever, but my busiest post-Thanksgiving/December. I believe the essentials to powering through the rest of the semester are to stake out a few go-to study spots (mine are definitely 26th Floor of StuVi II and SMG Starbucks), squeeze in FitRec time and to find the perfect music for studying and writing papers.
Here is a list of my favorite songs that will serve as my soundtrack to upcoming study sessions:
“The Calm” by Drake
“Angels” by The xx
“Blue in Green” by Miles Davis
“Wild Horses” by The Rolling Stones
“Pink Matter” by Frank Ocean and Andre 3000
“Wait” by M83
“Lay, Lady, Lay” by Bob Dylan
“Climbing Up The Walls (Zero 7 Mix)” by Radiohead
“Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For a Sunbeam” by Nirvana (MTV Unplugged in New York)
“Your Hand in Mine” by Explosions in The Sky
