The No-Lyrics Study Playlist

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at OR State chapter.

With midterms in full swing, having the perfect study environment is more important than ever. Instrumental music offers up the relaxation with none of the distraction of wanting to sing along. These ten tracks aren’t your traditional classical tracks, but you might recognize a few of them from your favorite Grey’s Anatomy episodes or emotional movie scenes. So sit back, relax and study on, collegiette!
