A Playlist That Will Actually Help You Focus For Midterms

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

I don’t know about you, but when I’ve got a hundred things to do in a week, it can be hard to focus.  Between catching up on the 20 readings I never took notes on and trying to write a paper on something I quite frankly don’t understand, my brain can feel like it’s going to explode. I often find myself just listening to music I know and enjoy yet it never fails to distract me. While you should definitely treat yourself to your favorite bops once you’re done studying, here are some songs that will get your brain ready to work.
