Well, my fellow college students, it’s that time of year again. Finals week is quickly approaching and I don’t know about you, but I am definitely feeling the stress. In order to power through the upcoming week of exams, here is a list of upbeat, inspiring, seize-the-day songs. Listen to these songs while you’re studying and feel like that powerful and smart student that you are. You got this!
1. I’ll Make a Man Out of You from Mulan
This classic Disney song will make you feel like you can climb mountains and defeat the Huns… and your finals!
2. Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen
Even if you aren’t having a good time, this song will give you some encouragement to keep on studying.
3. Bet On It from High School Musical 2
Name a more inspiring and iconic song, I’ll wait.
4. Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
Rise up to the challenge of finals with this classic bop.
5. Work B**ch by Britney Spears
Get to work studying, or dancing, with this upbeat jam.
6. Run The World (Girls) by Beyonce
In case you are in need of a girl power song to remind you that you’re a girl boss that can handle anything your professors throw your way.
7. Survivor by Destiny’s Child
You can survive finals!
8. Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) by Kelly Clarkson
What doesn’t kill you just makes you stronger, and finals shouldn’t kill you… right?
9. Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar
*after several cups of coffee and hours of studying* Fire away, finals!
10. Holding Out For A Hero from Shrek 2
This is arguably the best scene from any movie to exist. And by the end of final week, we’re all holding out for a hero to magically raise our grades. So end your studying with a well deserved dance party.
I wish you all the best of luck during this upcoming finals week! You can do it!
HCXO,
Hannah
