Some people have to study in complete silence, while others need background noise to help them crank out their paper or math worksheet. I am one of those students; background noise, especially music, doesn’t bother me. Music can help get me motivated to study or when the beat is about to drop and you get the problem right, it is a perfect harmony for an A. Some people prefer to study with a relaxed, low-key playlist while others prefer pump up songs to get them in the zone and amped up. Listed below I have these two options for study playlists to get you through the long, late hours.
