Unfortunately, exams are right around the corner. I’m sure most everyone is drowning in stress, just as I am. It always seems like there’s so much to do around this time of year that it’s hard to focus, let alone focus on something boring like exams. Other than the idea that summer is only a few weeks away, these songs do a pretty good job keeping me focused and motivated when studying for exams. They’re still upbeat and remind me of summer so they won’t put you to sleep, but they have a chill enough tone that they don’t become distracting. Check them out!

Annie McLean

C Mich '21

Hey! My name is Annie and I'm majoring in Integrative Public Relations and minoring in Multimedia Design at Central Michigan University. I love drawing and painting and I spend a lot of my time outdoors, more specifically on the water. I love to paddle board, boat, kayak, rollerblade, and bike. I LIVE for dogs and I would own 500 if I could. I have a black lab puppy named Luna and I miss her everyday I'm here at CMU. I love to listen to music, my taste is pretty diverse, but I am especially into 90s pop and alternative. My guilty pleasure is watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians, yes I know, but I am ADDICTED. My ultimate goal is to hopefully run social media platforms for a large company such as Victoria's Secret or Kylie Cosmetics.
