20 Songs To Get You Through Finals Week

Interview with the Geek

Finals week is approaching faster than I want to admit. For some students, that means test after test after test. For others, it means essay after essay after essay. For the unfortunate, it means both. No matter how great of a student you are, finals week is stressful. Of course it's important to prepare ahead of time by studying or drafting essays, but it's also important to keep some type of mental stability. Taking a break every now and then is crucial during this time to prevent complete insanity. So put the books down and listen to some music to match whatever mood this horrific week has put you in.

If you feel like crying, listen to...

1. "Hello" by Adele

Why cry over your million assignments when you could cry to Adele's soothing voice?

2. "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley

This song is gorgeous, but if you want the Shrek version, check out John Cale's rendition.

3. "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.

This is so true it hurts.

4. "Amnesia" by 5 Seconds of Summer

That feel when you forget everything even though you studied for days on end. (This isn't the same, but still.)

5. "Stone Cold" by Demi Lovato

And the tears keep falling.

If you feel like screaming or belting out some lyrics, listen to...

6. "Stressed Out" by twenty one pilots

This is basically an anthem for finals week.

7. "Drag Me Down" by One Direction

Guilty pleasure song with some great belts at the end? Yes please.

8. "Alive" by Sia

You can't help but belt out Sia's lyrics whenever you hear them.

9. "Love Yourself" by Austin Jones

This is an interesting cover on one of Justin Bieber's most popular songs. Just wait until the second chorus.

10. "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance

Finals scare me the way teenagers scare this band.

If you feel like dancing and shaking the stress away, listen to...

11. "Hair" by Little Mix

Use the music video as inspiration and have a fun night with your friends!

12. "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift

This is pretty self-explanatory.

13. "Be Alright" by Ariana Grande

It'll be alright.

14. "Birthday" by Selena Gomez

Party like it's your birthday.

15. Party in the U.S.A." by Miley Cyrus

If there's one thing Miley Cyrus can teach us, it's how to party.

If you feel like you've already lost your mind and there's no returning, listen to...

16. "I'm a Mess" by Ed Sheeran

Me too, Ed, me too.

17. "Mad World" by Gary Jules

Because it is a very, very mad world.

18. "Welcome to My Life" by Simple Plan

Teen angst music is the best music.

19. "Figure It Out" by Royal Blood

"Still trying to figure it out."

20. "Therapy" by All Time Low

We might all need some after finals.

Good luck and happy studying!

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

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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

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.
