This pandemic has sucked the motivation out of me and with this being midterms week for many and finals week for Mount Holyoke students, we could all use a little motivation. I have been feeling extremely lost with remote learning this past week and really needed a pick-me-up. Especially since everything is now online, we have to resist the urge to make that cute Pinterest board and study instead – it is hard. These songs help me get in the zone to write that paper or take that test. A lot of these songs are older but they always help me feel more awake and inspired to get some work done. This playlist is one of my favorite ways to start off my day and spans a range of genres. I hope you like it as much as I do! :)
