Finals week is just around the corner for many of us, and we’re all just doing our best to study hard, pass our exams, and survive to see another semester. But in the midst of the holidays and busy end-of-the-year plans, it’s difficult not just finding the time to study, but to study well — to create a peaceful environment that allows our best studying and work to take place.
We all imagine a quiet room with a desk, lots of books, calming lighting, and a big mug of something warm, but perhaps one of the most important and effective ways of creating a lovely atmosphere for studying is by choosing the right playlist — a soundtrack for the background that won’t ask for too much attention, but also serves to set our mind on a track that’s conducive to cramming for our exams.
Below are some of our best playlist recommendations based on your taste in both music and ambience.
If you like feeling like you’re studying in an old library…
A dark academia playlist is especially pleasing and helpful for our long, studious nights — we’ll be able to imagine ourselves in an old European library on a rainy night in Edinburgh, filling our mind with great, deep thoughts.
If you want to feel like a Jane Austen character…
If one must spend hours poring over textbooks and hurriedly-written notes, one may as well feel like a Jane Austen character while doing so.
If you’re longing for the mountains & adventure…
Physically, you’ll be sitting at your desk, preparing for a week of tests, but mentally, you’ll be exploring and getting lost in the wonder of the moody mountains.
If you’re in a jazzy mood…
Pretend you’re sitting in an old New York coffee shop with live jazz music, sipping on the best cappuccino you’ve ever had, as you embark on your studies.
