Summer. Ahhhh, what a great time, right? For most students, summer is the time to breathe and get away from all of that awful school work. Unfortunately, summer is starting to come to an end. In a couple of weeks, the long, sleepless nights full of cramming to get an A on that test, insane amounts of coffee and trying to stay away in those 8 a.m. classes will soon be upon us. Don't worry, I'm sad too (but also secretly VERY excited to be back, shhh don’t tell anyone). But, now that we're at this time of year, we could all use an indie playlist to relax and embrace our end-of-summer blues. So, sit back, put on these tunes, and just drown out any thoughts of the wave of responsibility, work, and homework that is about to knock you on your butt pretty soon.
Without further ado, here is my chill summer playlist.
