Studying is a grueling task, requiring immense focus and willpower from the participant. However, studying with a slight "distraction" can often be of great benefit and tends to make the experience more enjoyable... with that in mind I have compiled a list of 10 songs that I always listen to when I hit the books. These songs may range from light lo-fi to classical orchestra, however, they're all guaranteed to boost your focus and make you more inclined to crack your textbook open! Enjoy!

Waiting for You- Verzache, Swell

This song has just the right amount of acoustic guitar and raspy vocals to make it a perfect accompaniment to all your studying endeavors!

Monotony- Cozy

Acoustic feels that will make you feel all warm and cozy inside as you review your lecture notes before the big exam.

For The Summer, Or Forever- Halftribe

An auditory journey featuring rolling waters, tweeting birds, and rustling trees. This playlist is perfect for the times you really need to focus on the material being studied

Dream #1 [arrival]- Charlie Dreaming

A quiet synthesizer song that allows you to shift focus to your studies and lacks lyrics that could distract you from the task at hand.

Nocturnes, Op. 9: No. 2 in E-Flat Major. Andante- Frédéric Chopin

Chopin's infamous piano solo work is a must-have for any study playlist!

Cassiopeia- Pt. 6- Max Richter

Richter's careful composition of this piece for string ensembles creates the perfect song for anyone who needs an auditory accompaniment to study but doesn't want to get distracted by it.

I See Fire- Ed Sheeran

Sheeran's quiet voice and equally quiet acoustic guitar strumming allow us to find ease/comfort in his voice yet continue to study rather than break out in song with him. Plus, it's from "The Hobbit- The Desolation of Smaug", so that's a bonus.

Again- Wun Two

This jazz inspired lofi beat is perfect for anyone who wishes to add a hint of rhythm to their studying playlist.

Morning Hymn- Nicholas Yee

Because everyone needs at least one cello instrumental cover on their studying playlist!

Awake My Soul- Mumford & Sons

For when you wanna have the quaint coffee shop vibes but you can't get to said coffee shop.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
