College... the kind of place that causes students to live in a constant state of fear and excitement. Our varying emotions can only be remedied by music. Here it is, a playlist I made especially for the most stressful four years of my life.
1. All Time Low // Jon Bellion
This is pretty self-explanatory
Low, low, lo-lo-low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo-lo-low, low, low, low ,low
Low, low, lo-lo-low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, lo-lo-low, low, low, low, low
2. Baby Girl // Sugarland
This song speaks volumes to our college student bank account
Dear Mom and Dad
Please send money, I'm so broke that it ain't funny
3. Bawitdaba // Kid Rock
Most of this song makes no sense, a lot like our professors.
Bawitdaba-da bang-da-bang-diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie-said up drop the boogie
4. Bohemian Rhapsody // Queen
When you come across free food on campus, or even better, class gets canceled.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
5.Comfortably Numb // Pink Floyd
This is the song to perfectly describe doing poorly on a test you studied very hard for.
This is not how I am , I have become comfortably numb
6. Alright // Kendrick Lamar
That pep talk you give yourself on your way to your 3 hour lecture
But if God got us then we got’ be alright…
We got’ be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me?
We got’ be alright
7. Crazy // Gnarls Barkley
Walking past a tour group full of high schoolers on campus like...
But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
8. Don't Stop Believing // Journey
The conversation you have with yourself late in the night when you are overwhelmed with school work and just want to quit
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
9. Suit and Jacket // Judah & The Lion
all of this growing up talk is scaring the crap out of us...
I ain't trading my youth for no suit and jacket
I ain't giving my freedom for your money and status
So don't say I'm getting older
'Cause I'll say it when I do
'Cause everybody I know, everybody I know
is growing old, is growing old too quickly
and I don't wanna go
So how am I supposed to slow it down
So I can figure out who I am?
10. What's Up? // 4 Non Blondes
When the professor is talking a mile a minute about something you do not understand
And I say, Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
I said, Hey, Whats going on?
11. Everything I own // Bread
Applying to FASFA in a song...
And I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you
12. Lost // Frank Ocean
When you do not know where your life is headed and you aren't 100% sure what you will do with your major after graduation...
Now you're lost
Lost in the heat of it all
Girl, you know you're lost
Lost in the thrill of it all
13. I'll Be There For You // The Rembrandts
Not only is it the theme song from a GREAT show, but it is pretty much the theme song for most college students.
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year
14. Hit Me With Your Best Shot // Pat Benatar
When your professor tells you that the assignment can't be accomplished the night before the due date
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
15. I love College // Asher Roth
Because let's be real... despite the stress and tears, we love and appreciate the overall experience.
Do I really have to graduate or can I just stay here the rest of my life?
