When you have to pull yourself out of bed for a morning class there’s nothing worse than being jolted from sleep by the annoying, monotonous beep of an alarm clock. So instead, why not set your phone or radio to play some fun tunes first thing in the morning in order to instantly lift your mood and make that morning routine seem a bit more bearable? Here are some songs recommended for the perfect A.M. playlist!
1. Arabella by the Arctic Monkeys
Just right for those crazy hectic days when you might need some extra help to get through classes and a ton of commitments with poise and confidence. Blasting this sleek Arctic Monkeys jam will inspire you to slip on your “interstellar gator-skin boots” and head out to conquer the world.
2. Primadonna by Marina and the Diamonds
Pure bubblegum pop and full of snarky, playful lyrics, this song will have you up and dancing around your dorm room in no time. (Maybe even BEFORE that first cup of coffee!) A great choice for sparking energy and liveliness in even the grumpiest of self-labeled non-morning people.
3. Fighter by Christina Aguilera
Maybe you’re feeling rejected from a breakup, a bad grade, or a fight with a friend. Or maybe you stayed up until 3am the night before cramming for a midterm. Whatever the situation, there will be many times in college where you simply won’t feel as if you have the strength to lift your head off your pillow. In tough times it’s important to try and focus on positive feelings and what better way to think positive than with a nostalgic self-empowerment anthem? So sing into your hairbrush when no one’s watching and blast those worries away!
4. She Moves in Her Own Way by the Kooks.
A bit of a mellower choice, perfect for chilly, rainy mornings and for those looking for a calm, peaceful morning routine. The soft strumming guitar and cheerful lyrics are sure to stir up some good vibes that’ll stay with you throughout the rest of the day!
5. Tik Tok by Ke$ha
Because sometimes you just wake up feelin’ like P. Diddy.
