10 Sensual Songs To Turn You On To Midterms

Consequence of Sound

Somehow, we are already halfway through the semester and the only thing scarier than Halloween is the thought of midterms. The choice to spend countless hours in the library or to avoid all studying responsibilities is up to you; all I know is that the one thing that keeps me sane through schoolwork is a stimulating playlist. With so many choices for music thanks to outlets like Spotify and Apple music, it is hard to narrow down to one genre. Alternative R&B is a new subgenre of music that has exploded in the last few years and is my go-to for homework.

The music has beats that are sensual, consistent, and hypnotic; they are able to help me keep time with my thoughts. Midterms are already stressful, and it is easy to become distracted from all the schoolwork that needs to be done. There is something about the vibe and energy of R&B that is attractive, and when paired with homework, makes school bearable.

In hopes of turning you on to midterms, I have compiled a list of alternative R&B tracks that are sure to help you survive the next few weeks.

1. "Arrest Me" by Shy Girls (feat. Tei Shi)

Ever feel like you're chained to your desk? This song is for you.

2. "Tennessee" by Allan Rayman

Allan Rayman's mellow voice is sure to sooth any midterm pains.

3. "DKLA" by Troye Sivan

Troye Sivan is Bae. 'Nuff said.

4. "1998" by Chet Faker (feat. Banks)

Let Chet Faker and Banks take you back to 1998, when midterms weren't even a thing.

5. "Hurt Me" by Lapsley

Lapsley sure knows how to sing a ballad about survival.

6. "In Time" by FKA Twigs

It never seems like there is enough time to get anything done, so focus on what is most important.

7. "Rewind" by Kelela

#ThatMomentWhen you wish you could rewind and study a little bit more.

8. "We Were In Love" by Ta-Ku

This track is perfect for getting some serious work done. Heavy beats and intense vocals are what make this song great for studying.

9. "Good Intentions" by Disclosure (feat. Miguel)

We always have intentions of writing that essay before the day it is due, but Miguel's voice makes me want to make some bad choices.

10. "Cry" by Major Myjah

We all need a good cry once and a while, right? #MidtermTears

Check out the entire mix below!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
