SONGS TO ADD TO YOUR SPRING 2026 PLAYLIST

This winter has felt much longer than it actually is, and I’m sure all WVU students are collectively counting down the days until it’s over. Between the cloudy weather, below-freezing temperatures and seemingly constant snowfall, spring seems like a distant memory. But fear not, because spring is much closer than it seems. March 20^th is the official start of the season, which is during our university’s scheduled spring break! It’s time to get out of our winter funk and start looking forward to warmer weather! What better way to do that than to develop a new playlist? Here are some songs I’ll be adding to mine, and I recommend you add them to yours!
