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

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