Hello again Lovelies!
It’s Exam time! And I know that it can be a stressful time to be a student around this time of the year. I just wanted to try and bring a little joy to you during your finals by giving you five songs I like to listen to when I am studying. I hope you find some you like!
1. Don’t You Worry Child – Swedish House Mafia
I think this song is a great starter to our list. Swedish House Mafia used this song to encourage people who listen not to worry ,because there is a plan for their lives. If you are like me, you are a huge worrier, so it is nice to listen to a song that reminds us not to worry so much about our exams or the future,because everything we need will come to us!
2. Pocketful of Sunshine – Natasha Bedingfield
Pocketful of Sunshine! Such a great name for a song that strives to bring a little light to people’s day. The chorus alone is a necessity, because it serves as an affirmation to us that nothing in the world can break us if we don’t let it , including exams. You have to choose to have a “pocketful of sunshine,” or a source of happiness in a time that can be stressful. It is important to have a source of motivation and happiness in these times to keep your sanity!
3. Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stefani
Okay, so this is not really an inspirational song, but it is a no brainer for this list! Sometimes during finals you don’t need an inspirational song. Sometimes you need a song that you know every word to and can belt away all of your frustrations. Hollaback Girl is an old favorite, and I’m sure a song on everyone’s playlist at some point, so it is great choice to have fun and use as a stress relief.
4. Blessings (reprise) – Chance the Rapper
First, can I just say I love Chance the Rapper! I have found him to be one of the most inspirational artist of our generation, and Blessings ( reprised) is just another great work of his. This reprised gives you the very intimate and symphonic melody, with lyrics designed for reflection. This song will help you decompress after studying for a final or taking a final, and still encourages you to carry on through the rest of your exams, because something good is coming your way. Definitely put this (or any Chance the Rapper song) on repeat!
5. The Show Goes On – Lupe Fiasco
This song is the perfect exit to our playlist because it sums up the purpose of this playlist. Lupe Fiasco inspirationally relays that no matter what happens in life, or on your exams, the show (or life) will go on. Doing bad or good on an exam is not the end, there is always something else down the line that you can, and will excel at!
Okay, well that is all I have for you! Again, I hope you found at least one song you can use. Also, if you have some suggestions, please leave them down below, I would love to listen to them!
Good luck on your exams….. and may the odds forever be in your favor!
