20 Inspirational Songs To Get You Through Finals Week

With finals right around the corner, college students across America are facing the immense pressure of doing well on all of their exams and landing the summer jobs of their dreams. It is a very stressful time for college students to say the least. With all of the time spent studying and in the library, that means everyone will be listening to a lot of music to motivate them to do well on their exams. Here are 20 great songs that will help any college student get through the struggles of finals week. May the odds be ever in your favor!

1. "Jesus Take The Wheel" by Carrie Underwood

2. "Something in the Water" by Carrie Underwood

Carrie is the perfect motivator to ace your exams and finish those papers!

3. "Stand by You" by Rachel Platten

4. "Waiting on the World to Change" by John Mayer

5. "XO" by Beyonce

Beyonce's positive messages are bound to get you an A on that exam (also check out her new album "Lemonade!")

6. "Latch (Acoustic)" by Sam Smith

If this song doesn't give you chills, I'm not sure what will. Sam Smith has the voice of an angel that will calm anyone down during a stressful week of exams.

7. "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5

An oldie, but most definitely a goodie! This Maroon 5 classic will keep you on track with your studying.

8. "Yellow" by Coldplay

9. "Best Thing I Never Had" by Beyonce

10. "How to Save a Life" by The Fray

Sorry to all of the "Grey's Anatomy" fans out there who associate this song with the trauma of "Grey's," but this is also a great studying song.

11. "Incomplete" by James Bay

James Bay's unique voice and music style will keep you from procrastination.

12. "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" by Kelly Clarkson

13. "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera

14. "All I Ask" by Adele

Anything from Adele's new album is amazing, this is just one of the many great songs.

15. "Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber

Although I may be a bit biased about Justin Bieber, all of his latest music has been so great. It will definitely keep you occupied during those long nights in the library.

16. "Think of You" by Chris Young and Cassadee Pope

This new country song, featuring "The Voice" alum Cassadee Pope, is such a jam. When you need that late-night pick-me-up, grab your coffee and blast this song to gain some energy.

17. "Out of the Woods" by Taylor Swift

18. "Just Give Me a Reason" by P!nk and Nate Ruess

19. "FourFiveSeconds" by Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney

20. "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts

Good luck to all of the college students out there who are struggling with finals! Hopefully these songs and some of your other favorites will make these few weeks less painful. Just remember summer is right around the corner!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.

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.
