No one truly likes studying. It takes so much motivation and energy, which is hard to come by when you're already exhausted from being a student. I don't recommend becoming a workaholic, but there are days when you really just do have to study. And that obviously calls for a good playlist…

1. “Work Song” by Hozier

Due at 11:59pm? Do at 11:58pm.

Giphy

Hozier recently made a comeback with his new album "Wasteland, Baby!" (which I highly recommend). But if you haven't heard his debut album, this is one of my favorite songs from it!

2. “Erase” by Mika

Study break, or "Parks and Rec" rewatch break?

Giphy

Mika is well known for songs "Grace Kelly" and "Lollipop", but this one is way more somber and emotional. Perfect for when you find out you have to redo an entire project because you read the rubric wrong.

3. “Okay Alright I’m Alive” by Bahamas

Me emerging from the library at 1am finally ready to go back to my room and sleep.

Giphy

Anyone: How are you?

Me: Okay

Anyone: Alright

Me: I'm Alive

4. “No More Second Chances” by MKTO

Realizing you submitted the wrong document and you can't resubmit...

Giphy

Yes, "Classic" is a classic. But so are the rest of their songs!

5. “IDFWY” by Big Sean feat. E-40

You: I truly don't give a f---!!! Your brain:

Giphy

Sometimes you just gotta let it out and scream this song at the top of your lungs.

6. “Lost” by Frank Ocean

When you're stuck on a problem and all your friends are asleep... who you gonna call?

Giphy

Sing it, Frank.

7. “wRoNg” by ZAYN feat. Kehlani

I'm SORRY, autograded quizzes!

Giphy

This song features a combination of two of the greatest singers of the modern age… So yeah, I would say it's pretty good.

8. “It Only Gets Much Worse” by Nate Ruess

When does this semester end? I WANNA GO HOME!!!

Giphy

If you ever jammed to "We Are Young" by fun. (don't lie, you did), and didn't know the lead singer was a solo artist, you'll be happy to find that he makes his own music.

9. “Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence

Catch me snoozing on top of my notes like it's my job.

Giphy

Sometimes you just need someone to yell in your ear for you to wake up, and this song is exactly the one for that.

10. “Alone” by Surfaces

Ohana means family, and family are those friends who bring you food so you can eat the stress away.

Giphy

That feel when it hits midnight and you're sitting by yourself in the library struggling...we've all been there.

11. “Girls Love Toast” by The Holdup

Toast is one of mankind's best inventions (after sliced bread).

Giphy

Because girls really do love toast.

12. “Finish Line / Drown” by Chance the Rapper feat. T-Pain, Kirk Franklin, Eryn Allen Kane, and Noname

YES! NEARLY THERE!

Giphy

Honestly, my favorite part of this song is the "Harry Potter" reference, but it's also a lyrical masterpiece. Win-win situation.

13. “Light in the Hallway” by Pentatonix

Don't let the light in the hallway bother you.

Giphy

Calm yourself down with soothing a cappella!

14. “Hell or High Water” by Lacy Wilder

So close.

Giphy

I personally know Lacy- humble brag, I know- but I find that this is the greatest hype song to listen to before the final stretch.

15. “Conqueror” by AURORA

YOU DID IT!

Giphy

Celebrate the end of your studying! You are victorious.

No matter how long it takes you, or how much you end up studying, you got this. Best of luck this upcoming finals season. (Full playlist can be found here.)

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Don't freak out

Email the professor

Attend the first class

Keep attending class

Have a backup plan

Remember that everything works out at the end
