Exams are basically almost here (HOW?!) which means we need to be as motivated as possible. When you really can't bear to look at one more math problem or work on another design project, an energetic song can sometimes work wonders in getting you to start, keep going, or finally stop and say, "This is good enough." So, please direct your attention to a few upbeat songs for your next study break jam session and all around pick-me-up.

Let yourself feel good!

1. "Glorious" by Macklemore ft. Skylar Grey

Let's play this one more as part of Throwback Thursdays on the radio, shall we? With a catchy beat and extremely uplifting lyrics, you can't really ask for more. Oh, except that the music video features Macklemore and his grandma...

2. "Little Miss Sunshine" by Caleb Hawley

This one is for all the girls out there. You're Little Miss Sunshine and there ain't nothing that's gonna change that, not even the way you think you look.

3. "Classic" by MKTO

Get ready for a jam session! You're literally going to want to get up and start moving after listening to this super-hit.

4. "Brooklyn In The Summer" by Aloe Blacc

An awesome song with an aesthetic lyric video just in case you're sitting in a library facing a blank wall.

5. "Have It All" by Jason Mraz

Ah, Jason Mraz: your go-to guy for positive, iconic, and beautiful music. This recent song of his is no less than his more well-known hits, and has a message for younger generations that is bound to make you smile.

6. "Unbreakable Smile" by Tori Kelly

Tori Kelly has been one of my favorite artists: she never fails to make music that is heartfelt, meaningful, motivating, relatable, and beautiful; this song gives a great example of her fantastic style and musical variety.

7. "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey

Y'all know this one.

Peace out, and let those good vibes continue to flow into your life.
