8 Songs You Need in Your October Playlist

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

Midterms are upon us! Even though every inch of your body wants to spend every waking hour in the library, don’t forget to go take a walk, or give yourself a break. Here’s a playlist inspired by the unavoidable end of summer and the slow descent into the winter months. 

“Wait a Minute!” – Willow

I didn’t know Willow Smith made music, but this song is a hidden gem. It’s honest yet charming and makes you forget she was only fifteen when she wrote this album. 

“Younger Days” – Mt. Joy

This song is a great study companion for those late nights in the library. 

“Beast of Burden” – The Rollling Stones

I mean a classic. What else can I say? 

“Dog Years” – Maggie Rogers

If you loved Maggie Rogers’ first album, check out this song from her earlier period. It’s arguably as good as the rest of the songs on Heard It In A Past Life. 

“Sunflower (ft. Steve Lacy)” – Vampire Weekend

I love Vampire Weekend, and this song is reminiscent of summer in the best of ways. The music video is equally as fun, so make sure to check it out. 

“Jesus, etc” – Wilco

This one goes out for everyone in sad girl/boy hours during midterms week. 

“Morocco” – Moon Taxi 

Add this song to your study playlist for a mood boost. 

“Grapefruit” – Almondmilkhunni

This song is the ultimate girl’s night bop. Play it at your next pregame!

Economics major, but an English major wannabe
