It’s finals season which means long nights in the lib, with a cup of coffee in one hand and our laptop in another, along with a backpack full of textbooks and notebooks. We can’t wait to be lying in bed in flannel pajamas under a warm blanket, with no responsibilities except to completely hibernate during our month-long break from school. Besides the cup of coffee that was previously mentioned, the only thing that’s keeping us alive during this time is our well-crafted study playlist. It’s super easy for coffee to give us the energy to grab a slice of pizza late at night with our roommate or binge on Netflix for 6 hours, but neither of those will get us the good grade in the class. This playlist needs to give us enough energy to stay awake, but still motivate us to actually study.

Below are a couple of songs that need to be on your playlist, to guarantee that you get through finals successfully.

1. “Stronger”-Kanye West
