As we all know, finals week is just about the worst week of the semester. It feel likes you have about five minutes to study and prepare for seven exams that are all in about an hour. Finals week is a lot of eight-hour study sessions in the library, and a lot of stir craziness can come with that. If you're anything like me, music is the most important thing that gets you through this week. Whether it's having background noise while looking over every single page of my textbooks or blasting songs during my study breaks to feel a little bit better, music is a great outlet for your mind during finals week. Here are a few random, but great songs to help you get through finals week.
1. "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor
An anthem when you need it the most. This throwback jam will be there for you when you need a confidence boost about how great you are going to do on these finals and a bit of motivation. YOU'VE GOT THIS.
2. "What Do You Mean" by Justin Bieber
You really can’t go wrong with this song, no matter the situation. It's perfect for a study break. Blast this song as loud as it can go, have an impromptu duet with the Biebs, and have a bit of a mental break before you go back to studying.
3. "Work" by Rihanna
Here’s a great song to build your confidence. If Rihanna can make a hit without even speaking real words, you can pass your finals. At least you know more for your exam than everyone does about what she’s saying other than “work." Also, this is a great pump up song regardless.
4. "Stressed Out" by Twenty One Pilots
To know you're not the only one "stressed out", play this song to know that even Tyler Joseph feels you.
5. "Born in the U.S.A" by Bruce Springsteen
Good ole Bruce will always make you feel a bit better.
6. "The Rock Show" by blink-182
This may just be a personal favorite, but this song has always pumped me up to get things done for as long as I can remember.
7. "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran
This song is without question one of the most "feel good" songs ever made, so I have no doubt that it will make you feel just a little bit better about finals week.
8. "Best I’ve Ever Had" by Drake
A throwback that never disappoints. A little Drake will help you focus on writing pages and pages of study guides, and validating that you are in fact, the best.
9. "This Is What You Came For" by Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna
Harris’ most recent release has a great beat, and is perfect for focusing while still enjoying what you’re listening to.
10. "LIKE I WOULD" by ZAYN
Nothing like a little bit of ZAYN to get you through an awful study session
11. "I Wanna Be Yours" by Arctic Monkeys
A personal favorite band of mine. This song has such a soothing vibe, it won’t disappoint when trying to focus your mind.
12. "Don’t Stop Believing" by Journey
As impossible as this week feels, and despite how unprepared you feel for all of your exams, you can’t stop believing. Journey said it best, and you don’t argue with Journey.
