Finals Week Set To Music

The dreaded finals week is almost upon us, and I want to share my, my friends', and The UNA Odyssey Team's studying playlist. Be prepared for a variety of music, ranging from 1980's to 2000's, classical and alternative, to songs straight out of popular movies.

I don't know about all of you, but I do my best work when I take time to jam out to a rocking playlist of awesome music.

From slow calm style to flip your hair kind of music, sure to get you singing at the top of your lungs. There are styles of music for everyone. Music available on Spotify, YouTube, and more.

1980's

The 1980's music era is one of my all time favorites. This generation was always dancing to the beat of Rock 'n' Roll. To Start off your epic finals week playlist, jam out to Journey and Kenny Loggins.

"Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey


"Footloose" by Kenny Loggins

As a tribute to Prince, here is one of my parents' favorites.

"1999" by Prince

1990's

The 1990's a great era of boy bands and the beginning of praise bands, we all love today.

"I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys


"I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe


2000's

The early 2000's bought us two different boy bands, one Pop the other Christian, but both stole our hearts from the first lyric. Also, girls were screaming Jesse McCartney's hit songs.

"Bye Bye Bye" by N'Sync.

"Beautiful Soul" by Jesse McCartney


"What Could Be Better" by 33 Miles


2010

What a year for great music. Kenny Chesney bought us a heartwarming football song, "The Boys Of Fall". I remember listening to this song before leaving the band room on Friday nights.

Tenth Avenue North released the song, "You Are More", which is basically my motto. Always believe in who you are, even with your flaws.


If you love artists from Laura Story to Rachel Platten to Sabrina Carpenter then, you definitely listen to music from 2011 to 2016 quite frequently.

"Blessings" by Laura Story


"Brave" by Sara Bareilles


"We Were Us" by Keith Urban featuring Miranda Lambert


"Fight Song" by Rachel Platten


"History" by One Direction


"Scars To Your Beautiful" by Alessia Cara


"Confident" by Demi Lovato



"Think Of You" by Chris Young featuring Cassadee Pope

To get you excited for 2016 music, here is a new single from Disney Channel's actress, Sabrina Carpenter.

"Smoke and Fire" by Sabrina Carpenter


Classical

For all my old souls out there, I have a couple of instrumental pieces just for you all.

Beethoven's "5th Symphony", is one of those build up kind of tunes. Gradually going up and down between levels is just beautiful and calming.


Being a former clarinet player, I love the sound of this piece by Mozart, "Clarinet Concerto".


Alternative

When you feel stressed out over finals, remember you are not the only one.

"Stressed Out" by Twenty One Pilots


"Walking On A Dream" by Empire of the Sun


Songs From Popular Movies

Doesn't it always seem like movies have the best soundtracks? Well here are a few from popular movies.

The Lord Of The Rings - History Of The Ring by Leonard Rosenman


Pitch Perfect 2- "Flashlight"

If you love the Barden Bellas, you are sure to be singing along to this powerful song.


Descendants- Believe by Shawn Mendes.

I believe I can ace this test. I believe in the impossible.


To end this epic playlist here is one of my favorite 80's movies. Dirty Dancing - "(I've Have) The Time Of My Life" by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warner.


I hope you have enjoyed the playlist of awesome music, that I have shared with you all. Good luck with everything and remember music is the greatest thing ever!

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.
