As finals week approaches, it’s important for students to find the motivation to study and do well on exams, projects and presentations. Music is a great way to feel empowered, successful and motivated, so here is your official finals playlist for spring 2019!
- “Juice” by Lizzo
-
While this song focuses heavily on self-love and confidence, it’s important to note that the messages conveyed in this song can manifest themselves in studying. “Juice” is a feel-good song, and it’s hard to cry over math problems with this song playing in the background.
- “High Hopes” by Panic! At the Disco
-
Panic! has songs for every single occasion, and while this song may not make much sense for a studying playlist, it’s encouraging. We all have high hopes for our finals (or at least pass our finals) and the work we do in college can lead us to great opportunities after graduation.
- “Saw You in a Dream” by The Japanese House
-
This is more of a post-studying song, with its dreamy lyrics and sleepy melody, but it’s vocabulary and poetry qualify it for this playlist, even if it’s better for a study break.
- “Alexander Hamilton” by Lin-Manuel Miranda
-
I love a good show tune, and what’s better than one that entertains you while simultaneously teaching you American history? If you have an American history exam, this is perfect for memorizing the Founding Fathers or the Revolutionary War.
- “I Like It” by Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J. Balvin
-
Ending the playlist on another confident song, this should instill you with the self-assurance you need to ace your exams.
Good luck on your finals!!
