A Homework Motivation Playlist

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

School has been especially busy lately, and with only a little over a month left of school, we are all in need of a little extra push. Here’s a playlist of music that can calm you, pump up, and motivate you to get through the end of the semester’s work:

1. Jason Mraz’s Album, “Love is a Four Letter Word”: This album has a nice mix of soothing songs and upbeat songs that make you feel happy about life.Alternative: “Life is Wonderful” by Jason Mraz

2. Antonio Vivaldi’s “Gloria”: Ever tried doing homework to Classical music? It’s the best, trust me.Alternative: Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons”Secondary Alternative: Bach’s orchestral compositions

3. “Radioactive In The Dark”: This song is an incredible mash up of “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons and “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark” by Fall Out Boy. This song simultaneously motivates me to do all of my homework, slay zombies, and survive the apocalypse.

4. The Tarzan Soundtrack: Nothing will get you movin’ and groovin’ like one of the best soundtracks Disney has to offer.Alternative: The Mulan Soundtrack

5. Ke$ha: Everything Ke$ha. Enough said.

6. “Roar” by Katy Perry: This is my current pump up jam for all situations, but especially when I need to tackle a big project or paper.

7. “Move Along” by The All-American Rejects: There’s nothing like a good throwback to 2005 (almost 10 years ago…what??) to help you feel studious. And remember, even when your hope is gone, move along, move along like I know you do.Alternative: “Hollaback Girl” by Gwen Stefani

Well, there you go! Hope this music helps you ace all of your projects, papers, and exams during these last few weeks of school.

Ally Bruschi is a senior political science major at Kenyon College. She spent this past summer interning as a writer with both The Daily Meal, a digital media group  dedicated to "all things food and drink" and The Borgen Project, a non-profit organization that partners with U.S. policymakers to alleviate global poverty. Before entering the "real world" of jobs, however, Ally spent many summers as a counselor at an all-girls summer camp in Vermont, aka the most wonderful place on earth. A good book, a jar of peanut butter, a well-crafted Spotify playlist, and a lazy dog could get her through even the worst of days.
