The apocalypse is approaching! No, it’s not December 21, 2012 yet – but even worse: Finals week.
You’re tired. Your fingers hurt from typing nonstop. Your eyes are ready to fall out. Your wallet is nearing “E” because of all of the coffee you’ve been consuming. And your head hurts.
But don’t look so sad, fellow UST-ers, I’m here to help. No, I’m not going to write that paper you procrastinated on for 2 months, but I’ll do something better instead – provide you with some tunes that will make that all-nighter all-better.
Will these songs help you concentrate? Probably not. But will they motivate you to push through and succeed? YES.
So here are a few of my favorites, but leave your suggestions for your favorite motivational finals weeks songs in the comments below!
Arcade Fire – “Ready to Start”
Grab a large cup of coffee on Study Thursday, a good spot in the lib, and turn on this song. Hell. Yes.
Dessa – “Kites”
Use this tune to ease into your studying ways, it’s epic and soothing at the same time.. Like magic.
Solid Gold – “Calm Down”
Stop worrying! Just chill….
Jimmy Eat World – “The Middle”
-insert any motivational phrase promising everything WILL be alright-
Simple Minds – “Don’t You Forget About Me”
Fear you’ll fall of the face of the Earth once finals occurs? Post this on your Facebook and make you friends PROMISE they’ll still remember you after the 21st. Plus, an 80s classic never hurts any list, right? Except Starship. “We Built This City” has hurt everyone who has ever heard it.
