Not only is it finals time, but it’s also allergy season (which could perhaps be stylized as ALLERGY SZN). This playlist below will get you through your pollen-related woes, and perhaps may help you to focus in and study a little bit, too.

  1. Machine Gun by Slowdive – A song to listen to as you drown in pollen on your walk back from NoCo.
  2. Champagne Coast by Blood Orange – Retreat back into your dorm room away from allergens as Dev Hynes croons, “Come into my bedroom.”
  3. Worst Behavior by Drake – Benadryl has got us on our worst behavior.
  4. Drinks On Us by Mike Will Made It, The Weeknd, Swae Lee, and Future – The Weeknd says when there’s “no white inside [one’s] eyes” that “it’s a fun day,” but we know otherwise. Make sure to get your medicated eye drops.
  5. Dance Yrself Clean by LCD Soundsystem – Take a shower and breathe again.
  6. Loft Music by The Weeknd – We also “seem to have 20 different pills” in us, but that’s because we take that many allergy medications.
  7. Gimme Sympathy by Metric – We’re NOT crying because we’re upset, we promise!!
  8. Sutphin Boulevard by Blood Orange – Pretend that you can breathe through your nose, and power through your work in the But with this song.
  9. Star67 by Drake – See above.
  10. Nothing But Time by Metric – When will it be time to stop taking Zyrtec every day?
  11. Let It Happen by Tame Impala – Go with the flow (of the waves of pollen).
  12. House Of Balloons/Glass Table Girls by The Weeknd – “If it hurts to breathe, open a window” is probably not the best advice when it comes to allergies, but anyway, this song is great.
  13. 40 Days by Slowdive – See “Nothing But Time.” But really, allergy season will be over (kind of) soon.
