1. The Eye of the Tiger - Survivor

This is basically the go to song for anyone trying to get through anything ever. Rocky used it to train so that he could beat the shit out of superhuman-like boxers in the ring, so we can use it to literally beat the shit out of finals week.

2. Survivor - Destiny's Child

I know this isn't even on the same level as Eye of the Tiger, but it's Beyoncé and those other women. We'll be survivors, too. Plus it's like the pumping up song of our generation.

3. Don't Stop Believing - Journey

This might as well be America's national anthem, but since it's not it can be our finals week national anthem. Even when you think you can't make it through finals, DON'T STOP BELIEVING.

4. The Final Countdown - Europe

This song is for that two hour cram before your actual exam, when you're trying to take in all the information you can before it's finally time. In other words, it's for the final countdown!

5. Stayin' Alive - Bee Gee's

Because we're literally doing our best to stay alive. With the sleep deprivation, unhealthy amounts of red bull and enormous amount of stress, it's surprising half of us haven't dropped dead due to a heart attack anyway. So celebrate stayin' alive.

6. Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi

I'm pretty sure a prayer is the only thing getting us through, anyway. So it's fitting.

7. Carry on Wayward Son - Kansas

This song actually reminds me of the exact phone call I got from my mom before finals week started, only way more poetic and lyrical. It kind of gives you that last little motivational kick in the ass that you need.

8. I Can Go the Distance - Hercules

I bet you thought this would be an article that wouldn't reference Disney. You're wrong. I know this one is a totally different vibe, but seriously it's great. I promise. Hercules was so down for all the challenges, and we should be, too.
