It’s about Drive. It’s about Power.
By Avani Sethi
We’re nearing the end of the fall semester as well as the end of the college application process for our seniors! So here’s a playlist to describe how this semester’s been and to help keep you motivated for the last 4 weeks and keep your eyes on the prize of a relaxing, long winter break.
To start off with:
- Face-Off by Tech N9ne
I think the Rock said it best in:
“It’s about drive, it’s about power
We stay hungry, we devour
Put in the work, put in the hours and take what’s ours.”
- Energy by Tyla Jane
For when you’ve been working on yourself, thriving on both school and your health.
- Expired by Jenny Nuo
For when you’re honestly just looking to the end of high school and finally going to college.
- Cool Kids by Justus Bennetts
For when you’re tired of continuous classes and assignments and can’t wait to enjoy your life as an adult.
- UCLA by RL Grime
I think this is self-explanatory. For when you’ve just submitted the UC applications and are really hoping UCLA comes through.
- In My Mind by Lyn Lapid
POV: You’ve zoned out of your biology lecture for the last 10 minutes because you keep thinking about your winter break plans.
- Seriously just stop by somegirlnameddana
Your mind when you wake up in the morning to 5 Canvas notifications, 10 Outlook emails, and 30 emails of various colleges that wanted you to apply.
- going out by ROLE MODEL
For when you’d rather stay at home to peacefully study, watch TV, and fix your sleep schedule instead of going out.
- Two Moons by BoyWithUke
For every other week, when you get the urge to just unplug and delete all social media.
- Insomniac by Justus Bennetts
It’s 4 am and you’re been staring at the ceiling for hours worrying about tomorrow’s to-do list and contemplating EVERYTHING.
- Pied Piper by BTS
A really fun catchy song by BTS where RM literally tells you to stop procrastinating and go study for your test.
- A-O-K by Tai Verdes
For when you worked really hard to get your grades up so you go to office hours to talk to your Professor and they say they’ve seen a lot of improvement and believe you’ll end the semester with a great grade.
- The View by Stray Kids
POV: You just got some extra credit points in a class you’ve been struggling with and things are starting to look up.
- We made it by David Hugo
It’s no doubt been a hard and stressful semester for most of us but you’re almost done. We’ve almost made it! Be proud of yourself!
- Good Day by Surfaces
POV: It’s Friday. You went to school. You got a good test score back. You saw your friends. And you finished the week strong.
