The end of the year is almost here. I honestly cannot believe how fast this past semester has gone by. Over the last few months, I have discovered and revisited some albums that help me get through anything; stress, homework, love, friendship... anything. These are some pick me ups that I would suggest to anyone looking to expand their music field.
