Your Go-To Summer Playlist

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

It doesn’t feel like it, but guess what? Summer is right around the corner! There’s just one little thing between you and summer though, and unfortunately it’s finals week. 

 

So, what better to help you get through it all than a summer song list? We all have different images of what summer is to us, but these songs are guarenteed to take you to that familiar place of relaxation and calmness. Whether you are studying for an exam, writing a paper or prepping for a critique, these songs will lift up your spirits and even help you perform better. 

 

Without a worry in the world, imagine you are on a beach sinking your toes into the warm, soft sand, looking to the horizon as the waves are crashing onto the shoreline. 

 

So pick up your pen, put on your headphones and enjoy!
