Your soul after finals

Looking for a perfect way to mark the end of finals? DJ Breezus has you covered. Using her WBAR magic, Breezy has compiled a highly sophisticated playlist for Columbians who just want to celebrate their freedom. Even if your finals aren’t quite over, go ahead and listen to some music that will make you feel like the bamf that you are.

Summer is here! Whether you’re studying for your last final, packing up all of your belongings, or reading Bwog from the comfort of your own bed @ home (lol), we have compiled a final list of songs to send you off. Enjoy, and we’ll be back with more tunez in the fall!

• Born Free by M.I.A.- A reminder to us all that life is good and we should not be slaves to our stress!!
• For Free? by Kendrick Lamar– Originally this playlist was gonna be about freedom, so songs with the word “free” in the title were in high demand. The theme of this playlist has since evolved, but this song/Kendrick are both incredible and deserve to be heard.
• Free Yourself by Fantasia, Missy Elliott– This summer is the perfect time to ~~free yourself~~.
• School’s Out For Summer– ??? What would this playlist be without this ???
• School Spirit by Kanye West– Go Columbia! Roar lions roar!
• Leave Me Alone by Kaytranada, Shay Lia– For those of you returning home this summer to live with your parents, this is the perfect song to sing when your ‘rents try to resurrect your high school curfew.
• ABC by Jackson 5– A feel-good song with a subtle scholastic undertone!!
• Breathing Underwater by Hiatus Kaiyote– You are no longer drowning in the work that finals brings, so celebrate with this song (also peep the entire album).
• Get Ur Freak On by Missy Elliott– Summertime = freak time.
• Selfish by Slum Village, Kanye West, John Legend– By now it’s clear that these songs don’t really have a common theme… whatever, still a good tune.
• Runnin’ by The Pharcyde– This is a good song for those photo montages/slideshows that play at the conclusion of various events that are supposed to make you cry. You can recreate this photo-induced nostalgia by listening to this song and going through your freshman year FB album.
• The Grind by Erykah Badu– The grind is forever.
• The Grind Date by De La Soul– Again, the grind is forever.
• It’s Tricky by RUN-DMC– Life/school/academics/balancing everything can be tricky indeed, but take time this summer to chill a lil bit.
