10 Girl Power Anthems to Keep You Motivated During Exams

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Washington chapter.

These are some of my favorite songs to listen to when I really don’t want to, but should have started 3 hours ago, study for exams. I also recommend listening to these songs if you’re really triggered at someone or you want some songs to hype you up because you are a girl, a.k.a., an absolute QUEEN that deserves the best because she can do everything she puts her mind to. Put in your earphones and get working!

1. So What? – Pink

2. F. U. – Little Mix

3. Say My Name – Destiny’s Child

4. Love Song – Sara Bareilles

5. Bad Girls – M.I.A.

6. Irreplaceable – Beyonce

7. Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stefani

8. Rockstar – Hannah Montana

9. Since U Been Gone – Kelly Clarkson

10. Better Than Revenge – Taylor Swift

I don’t know about you, but all these songs seem to be directed at someone or something —so in your case, make that entity be the exams you’re about to ace because you’ve been working your butt off. Or, if you’re still triggered by you-know-who, blast these “Miss Independent” songs and sing out the stress. Nothing & no one—not even finals week—can phase you, girl! Go out there and kill it.
