Midterm Melodies

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

With spring break rapidly approaching, that only means one thing. No, it’s not a week off from school, but rather that ever dreadful time known as midterms week. But do not fret! With the help of this relaxing playlist you’ll be sure to find yourself in a more serene state while you’re studying this time around, or at least attempting.
 

“Intro” by the Xx: It’s hard to pick just one song off this British band’s album, but this one will help even the most restless mind maintain focus.

 

“Crosses”- José González: Leave it the first chord and González calming voice to have you relaxed in seconds

“Breathe In”- Frou Frou: Imogen Heap will have you putting a little pep into your step or rather your pen with this funky tune that will leave you smiling for days after

 

 “Weather of a Killing Kind”- The Tallest Man on Earth: Hailing all the way from Sweden, Kristian Matsson delivers this gem of a tune to help anyone get in that studying mood.

 

“Your Hand in Mine”- Explosions In The Sky: Pure instrumental bliss.

“Porcelain”- Moby
:
“Hey woman, it’s alright”

 “Blindsided”- Bon Iver: Justin Vernon can do no wrong in my book, and hopefully none in yours either (no pun intended….)

 

“Hollywood-” Angus & Julia Stone: I can’t stay away from my Southern California roots with this one. This brother and sister duo can do it for just about anyone, so sit back, take a deep breath, and think about those sunny days in Hollywood.

 

“Lost Cause”- Beck: Hopefully your studying isn’t a complete lost cause by the end of this playlist.


 

“Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want”- She & Him: The dynamic duo of Miss Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, combined with this tune will have your ears and body begging for more.

 

There you have it all you music gurus out there. Happy Studying!
