Ever wonder what to listen to while you’re studying? Are you searching for a new playlist to listen to before going out at night? Need some motivational tunes to exercise to?
I don’t know about you, but I always listen to music. Regardless of whether I’m working, driving, studying, exercising, or just walking down the street, I’m plugged in. I’ll say, without a hint of shame, that I’m that girl with her iPod in. Always. So, I’ve compiled a list of websites that have great playlists for you to listen to, depending on what you’re doing. Try out all of them!
8 Tracks (www.8tracks.com):
I love the 90’s playlists on this site when I’m sitting in my room, doing laundry, or just relaxing. You and your roommate can rock out to old-school Britney Spears, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Avril Lavigne, and my personal favorite- the Spice Girls. There are also mellower playlists that fall under the category of 90’s, such as Third Eye Blind and Counting Crows. And, for the fans of rap, they have a great selection of rap songs that you used to dance to at your middle school dances.
Also stick to 8 Tracks for study music. Playlists such as “Homework Time, Bitches” and “Lets Fall in Love Like a Country Song” are slow enough that you don’t find yourself bopping along to the beat, but catchy enough to keep you from falling asleep while reading mind-numbing textbooks.
Frat Music (www.fratmusic.com):
I use this website when I’m getting ready to go out, or just trying to get pumped up for a late night. Try some playlist categories, including “Rage,” “Pregame,” “Broin’ Out,” and “Hoin’ Out” to start your nights on the town off right! Listen to some of their dubstep mixes too- they always get me in the right mood to dance!
I also use Frat Music when I go to the gym! The pumped up beats motivate me to get ready, get my butt to the gym, and EXERCISE! Once I’m working out, these beats keep me active and moving throughout my entire workout. This music distracts me from counting down the minutes on the treadmill, and helps me to not quit early!
