A playlist to prevent midterms from getting you down

Fall is finally upon us, which means football, plaid, pumpkin spice and *midterms* galore! We at the DTH know how difficult midterm season can be, but thankfully we’ve always known music is the best medicine. Or is that laughter? Regardless, the escapism and inspiration provided by music can help you pull through when the caffeine just won’t kick in.

Compiled here is a combination of chill songs for the soothing studying mood, high-tempo motivational tracks to get you in the ‘80s-workout-montage zone and some classic feel-good songs to encapsulate the desperation-filled, you’re-almost-there-don’t-give-up-now ambience for when it’s 3 a.m. and you need that reassuring reminder that you can — and will — get through anything. Or rather, the reminder that all of your efforts are futile anyways because life is depressingly finite — whichever mood hits first.
