Finals week is finally here and if you're anything like me studying in silence just doesn't work, and classical musical puts you to sleep. Here are a few songs to keep you motivated and ready to ace these finals.

Logic Underpressure Intro
"You can really do anything" A lyric to take from this song. The first verse Logic raps is about striving for something and working hard for it even though it seems like that dream might not come true. By the end of the song he finally achieves his goal. This is a song to help you remember that you can achieve your goal, but first you have to get through these tough times. Remember, you can do anything!
