I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s already November!\u00a0 In a normal year, November means fall outings, pumpkin patches, apple picking, and gearing up for the family festivities that come with Thanksgiving and Winter Break.<\/p>\n

This year, however, November takes on some new meanings. It\u2019s midterm season, perhaps it\u2019s your 8th month at home with family. It\u2019s getting colder, so there are fewer things to do while we continue to stay safe during the pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019ve always had Spotify, but I really didn\u2019t get into curated playlists until quarantine started. Listening to music is a great way to shake up your at-home routine, or a great way to contemplate whatever mood you might be feeling during these times. As we continue through midterm season, you can listen to a playlist while you do homework, study, or when you just need a break.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is my top 5 list of Spotify playlists to get you through the next few weeks (or at least before the holiday music starts playing):<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Majestic Casual<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"majestic\"<\/p>\n

    Featuring tracks by Tom Misch, Hether, Dameer, Mura Masa and more, this playlist will invoke spark memories and emotions with an eclectic mix of magical sounds. This is a perfect playlist for when you\u2019re trying to relax and get some homework done! Not to mention – it\u2019s a bunch of great new music to explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    2.\u00a0Perfect Havoc: Top Ten<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Having a solo dance party in your dorm or childhood bedroom? This is the perfect playlist to play when you want to have fun!

A great choice when you\u2019re looking for some old and some new.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
