The Best Music Albums To Study To

Its time to crack down and get to work. Midterms are nearly upon us and its time to focus. The best way to find your focus is through the best study albums.

1. The Imitation Game soundtrack by Alexandre Desplat

This album is the perfect soundtrack to study to. No words means a super focus, but the soundtrack is so epic you won't get bored and fall asleep.

2. Abbey Road by the Beatles

What better album to listen to than one that made history? While you are working to make history with the best test grade ever, listen to the Beatles Abbey Road to get pumped up.

3. The Up soundtrack by Michael Giacchino

This soundtrack will give you all the feels. The music is soft and familiar and there is no way that you will get distracted while listening.

4. 500 Days of Summer soundtrack

This soundtrack has a variety of songs so there is no getting bored and giving up. You can stay motivated and make it through the piles of reading professors have assigned.

5. The Holiday soundtrack by Hans Zimmer

The Holiday may be one of the greatest movies ever created. Little known fact is that the soundtrack is too. Hans Zimmer creates a beautiful mix of songs that will block out background noise and help you ace the big test.

6. Any album by Glenn Miller

Sometimes you need a break from the popular music of today. This is when you should throw it back to the incredible jazz period of our music history. Glenn Miller is one of the greats, and one we can turn to for help in the library.

7. This Unruly Mess I've made from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Some may find this album distracting, but this is my favorite to read to. There is no better way to block people out and really focus than to have Macklemore rapping in the background. The intensity of the music helps you feel the urgency of getting stuff done.

8. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty soundtrack


This soundtrack was made for an adventure. Even if you are stuck in your room studying for that heinous math exam, you can feel as if you are free, long boarding through Iceland, or climbing mountains.

9. Super Trouper from Abba

By roommates request, Abba had to be included on this list. The upbeat happy tunes will help remind you that you won't always be studying and will keep you from an abyss of despair.

10. The Theory of Everything soundtrack from Johann Johannsson

This is my all time favorite album to study to. Johann Johannsson is a genius in the way that he created this music. But don't just take my word for it, go try it out for yourself!

Midterms can be one of the most stressful time of the semester. Thankfully, the music world has blessed us with many different ways to sit down and focus so that we can ace those tests and ease all the stress.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
