Summer is coming to an end; the leaves are turning vibrant colors, cardigans are more popular now than ever, and PSLs are already back at a Starbucks near you. Even though a lot of this school year is unknown, one thing is certain: study playlists!

Personally, I feel most productive when I have music in the background, even if I get distracted dancing to a bop, I go back to work feeling inspired and excited. Luckily for you, I have curated some of my favorites to work to – including soft ballads that calm me down, jams that make me have dance breaks, and oldie-but-goodies that always leave me smiling!
