Good music is a key aspect of a good study session. I’ve listed some of my personal favorite Spotify playlists that I use almost every day for a productive study session. These playlists will get you on the path of a 4.0 GPA semester!

For More of a Chill Vibe:

Lo-fi Beats

Creator: Spotify

This playlist is great for anyone who likes minimal distractions when studying. It offers slow, laid-back beats with minimal lyrics if any at all. This playlist is perfect for those who have a harder time listening to music while studying due to its laid-back nature and it’s the perfect tool for remaining focused no matter how challenging or relaxed your study sessions may be. This playlist that was created at the Spotify headquarters, features artists such as Flying Lotus, owlh and eevee. This unique lineup of songs allows instrumentals and guitar solos to shine due to its lack of lyrics and laid-back nature.

Jazz in the Background

Creator: Spotify

This playlist offers smooth and relaxing beats, which is great for putting your mind at ease during an intense study session. If you’re looking for the vibes of a local coffee shop in your own bedroom, then this is the playlist for you. This playlist works great for anyone who has test-taking anxiety or uneasy feelings about studying in general. The smooth and classic beats of this playlist are good enough to put even the most anxious person at ease. This playlist that was also made by Spotify creators features artists such as Vendla, Steve Luke & Holloway, South North and Lydia Baskow Trio. This playlist features amazing sounds from instruments such as the piano and the saxophone to keep the chill study vibes flowing!

For motivation:

This playlist is perfect for anyone who needs to remember who they are. It offers upbeat and motivating songs that will give anyone a little extra push to study. This powerful playlist is perfect for anyone that needs a little extra hype up before their exam or anyone who’s recently been feeling unmotivated to complete tasks. These exciting upbeat tunes are more suitable for those who have an easier time focusing and need more of a mood boost. This playlist was created by @Jessica Foxx on Spotify and features artists such as Normani, Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat to make you feel like the ultimate “baddie” and ace all of your exams.
