While studying for finals, many of us will find ourselves slaving away on our laptops and using up the rest of the ink in all of our pens. Our minds will be racing viciously as we jump from a study guide for cell biology to flashcards for geometry formulas. During this high stake time, we may feel a little burnt out from time to time from the immense workload. Music is great for study breaks, and for a lot of people, can even be helpful to blast while studying.
So, here are a few different songs for all of the different types of hard working students getting ready for finals to throw into their playlists!
1. "The Judge" by Twenty One Pilots
This song is extremely catchy, and the singer, Tyler Joseph, has such a joyful disposition that sheds through his music and relieves my stress immediately. Also, this is my favorite song by Twenty One Pilots. You'll love it too! Here is a link to hear the song.
2. Any Type of White Noise
There are all sorts of videos on YouTube with hours of study "music" that you can throw on repeat. This is really nice if you cannot deal with lyrics while you are cramming. Here is a link to my favorite white noise study audio video.
3. "Colors" by Halsey (Instrumental Version)
Instrumental versions of songs are also very good for those who do not like hearing lyrics while studying. Here is a link to the instrumental version of "Colors" by Halsey.
4. "Sorry" by Justin Bieber (Instrumental Version)
This is just another fantastic instrumental version of a song that is great for studying. Here is the link for this one.
5. "Cello Suite No. 1 in G major" by Johann Sebastian Bach
If you are a person that does not like to study with lyrics and enjoys classical music, I suggest you go full out with some Bach. This is a link to a high quality audio YouTube video of it.
6. "This is Gospel" by Panic! At The Disco (Piano Version)
Brendon Urie has a really calming voice that will ease you into studying for your hardest subjects. In the piano version of the song "This is Gospel," his voice is somehow even more soothing than it was in the original version. Plus, this link takes you to the music video for the song, where Brendon looks gorgeous.
7. "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton
Sometimes a throwback song can be an exciting addition to your study playlist that gives you that extra push to finish that last equation. It can also be a bit distracting once you start attempting to belt out all of the lyrics that you have known by heart for so long. Here is a link to listen to this nostalgia booster.
8. "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson
And, here we have another throwback song. Let's be honest; you can never go wrong with Kelly Clarkson. You can rock out to this song by clicking this link!
9. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part One)" by Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd provides just the right amount of mellowness to any rock music fueled study session. Here is a link to the song.
10. "Born in the U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen
If you are into studying with rock music that isn't as mellow, this song is better for you. I mean, sometimes you just need to rock out with your air guitar in order to make chemistry bearable! The song can be found here.
11. "CHERRY BOMB" by Tyler the Creator
If you need to take a little break and throw on some rap music, this is a good choice. If you like to spit out rhymes while studying, this is still a good choice. I know someone who even changes the lyrics to rap songs to fit their vocabulary words. Here is a link to the song.
12. "Dirty Paws" by Of Monsters and Men
Lastly, this one is a personal favorite that I find easy to study to and just a phenomenal song overall. You can find it here.
So, go ahead and start compiling your playlist. Exams are getting closer every day, and I know I want to be as prepared as possible for my lengthy study sessions. You might even find me blasting a few of these songs late one night in the library very soon!
