Nothing like an oldie
to celebrate the new! Dance all night into the new year to this iconic song and
revisit it throughout the semester whenever you need a single-person dance
party to break through that writer’s block.
2. Turnaround Hans
Zimmer, Camille
This delightful
sing-songy tune from The Little Prince

campus! It’s sure to put a smile on your face even if the sky is gloomy.
3. Alexander
Hamilton Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton
Impress your history
teacher and your classmates with your new-found knowledge on Alexander Hamilton
after you listen to this brilliant piece written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Bonus –
this song is a BANGER.
4. Seventeen Peach
Pit
Remember to take a
break from your studies every once in a while and have some fun! Hang out with
your friends and celebrate your youth by belting the chorus in the car, “I’m
seventeen/ don’t hold your breath”. Don’t sweat it if you’re not seventeen;
it’s the thought that counts.

Bachelor Panic! At The Disco
Dance, sing,
appreciate this timeless jam. Rinse and repeat.
6. Beauty School
Dropout Frankie Avalon

studying for those midterms by listening to this lovely tune from the Grease soundtrack. Sing along with
Frankie Avalon’s smooth vocals while simultaneously pondering the lyrics “Beauty school dropout/ No graduation day for you.”
*shudder* Hit the books!
7. Audition (The
Fools Who Dream) Emma Stone
Need some
inspiration? Be it for a paper, project, or just getting out of bed, let this
emotion-filled beauty from the La La Land
soundtrack get you there. Remember why you put in the long hours in the first
place – we’re all fools who dream.
8. Young Dumb &
Broke Khalid
Get a bad grade?
Forget to turn in your physics homework? Raiding the cracks in the couch for
spare change for gas money? Let Khalid put a smile on your face anyway with
this extremely relatable song.
9. I’m So Tired The
Beatles
This one is for when
you’ve just pulled an all-nighter to finish your 6-page research paper and
you’ve got an AP Calc test that afternoon – and it’s only Wednesday. Give in to
your exhaustion with this depressingly beautiful Beatles song.
10. The Final
Countdown Europe
Pump yourself up for
the final stretch of the semester. Dance around your room punching the air if
you have to. “IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWNNNN” will be stuck in your head all exam
week but it’s worth it.
11. Don’t Worry Be
Happy Bobby McFerrin
“In every life we
have some trouble/ but when you worry you make it double/ Don’t worry, be
happy”. If you didn’t quite get the grades you wanted, don’t worry! You should
be proud of all the hard work you put in and have faith that everything will
work out the way it’s supposed to. Be happy!
