10 Broadway Cast Recordings To Get You Through Finals

As finals week is approaching, I know the only thing that gets me through studying are Broadway Cast recordings. Here is a list that I feel gets you in the mood to study with a breeze!

1. "Hamilton"

This first one goes without explanation due to high energy and being filled with history of our country. Perfect for any class studies but especially those history classes!

2. "RENT"

"Rent" is a monumental show in musical theatre history but it is also very uplifting. It is especially uplifting for college students since the characters are around our age or older.

3. "Wicked"

"Wicked" has a score that always gets my day started. There are some songs that really help with studying and really brighten up everyone's day!

4. "Spring Awakening"

"Spring Awakening" is filled with rock anthems that just can't help but make you sing along. The songs have great melodies that do get stuck in your head, but still a great score to listen to as you are going through your semester notes.

5. "In The Heights"

Lin-Manuel Miranda's first show is just as good as his current one. The score is electrifying and it is usually my go to when getting ready for both finals and every day.

6. "Heathers"

"Heathers" is so much fun and is definitely one of the best scores to listen to in general, but every single song is so upbeat and gets you ready for those grueling finals that you would have to deal with.

7. "Hairspray"

Another fun musical that takes place in a school and with very catchy tunes. It is super popular which makes it easy to get into while studying.

8. "Legally Blonde"

College sororities and catchy tunes. To me, this is the perfect cast recording to get you in the mood to study, because if Elle Woods can go to law school, so can you!

9. "Matilda"

This score is absolutely beautiful and hearing little kids about growing up and having huge hopes and dreams really inspires me to finish college and accomplish my hopes and dreams.

10. "American Psycho"

This cast recording is new and fun. The score includes fun 80s hits and is super techno. I personally loved it and the cast recording is something I listen to a lot to get me ready to study.

Good luck to everyone studying for finals and hope these cast recordings help with those long nights! All of the cast recordings can be found on Spotify and iTunes!

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

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
