The Ultimate Finals Playlist
Bob Clark

As a content creator for The Odyssey Online, I made the decision to express myself and my opinions. Referring to one of my favorite subjects as an online writer, I have touched on the benefits and value of music through articles like “A Creative Boost Through Music,” “I Set My Clocks Early ‘Cause I Know I’m Always Late,” and “A Playlist Perfect For Each Of Your Emotions."

Music is more than a thing to listen to. It can evoke or impact emotions, recall memories, create relationships, and act as something to relate to. With numerous genres and sub-genres, there are endless possibilities when creating a playlist to fit a given occasion or mood. Although it may come off as repetitive for some to continue talking about music, I want to share yet another playlist this time tailored to fit one of the most stressful points in the year for a student - finals.

"Swoon" by Beach Weather


"Whir" by Affelaye


"The A-Team" by Ed Sheeran


"Demons" by Jacob Lee


"Somebody Else" by The 1975


"Across the Sea" by The Sweeplings


"Youth" by Daughter


"Holes" by The Paper Kites


As the week's toward my first set of college finals progress, I can’t help but feel the rising pressure to memorize and learn every bit of information possible. Being an individual who doesn't tend to retain information easily, often using a mix of visual, verbal, physical, and aural learning styles, I understand the frustration that comes with multi-hour study sessions. Within thirty minutes I can feel my foot tapping, knee shaking, and the rising urge to do anything but homework. Although I do procrastinate with other homework at times, finals are different.

"I'll Meet You At Midnight" by SAM KIM


"Ghost" by Jacob Lee


"The Halocline" by Hippo Campus


"D (Half Moon)" by DEAN


"The Rain" by Oh Wonder

"New Rules" by Dua Lipa (Acoustic)


According to Mind the Science Gap, studies have shown that listening to music while studying can be beneficial in approving attention and memory depending on the genre. While I know that some people find themselves easily distracted by music when studying, it has often helped me to focus during those late night study sessions. I hope that this playlist can be beneficial to fellow students who are preparing for their finals and want to listen to something more laid back.

"Art Exhibit" by Young the Giant


"I Will Be" by Florence + The Machine


"Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" by XYLO


"Heavy Weather" by Billie Marten


"Cold Air" by Fyfe


"Pink Tires. Smile Lines." by Olivver the Kid

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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!

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.
