We’re quickly creeping up on finals and graduation. It is a pretty scary and depressing time for many as the end of the semester is in sight but there’s still so much to do to get there. I’m trying to listen to some more upbeat songs instead of listening to only slow music, which tends to make me more anxious and sad.

I’m sure this stress-inducing time isn’t something I’m experiencing alone. So, if you need some upbeat (not necessarily happy/positive lyric-wise) music to assist the Spring to Summer transition, read on. Here is a link to the complete playlist containing a few bonus songs.
