As the semester comes to a close, we are juggling feelings of regret from the past semester (we could have studied more for that one midterm, we could have gone out two nights per weekend instead of three, etc.) with the anxious energy of finishing finals and moving out. Listen to this playlist while going on a walk (as a study break, perhaps) or while packing up.

  1. Wait a Minute! by Willow – For when you remember that your Stats exam is actually on Wednesday, not Thursday.
  2. Happy by Mitski – A song about that confusing hook-up from February with whom you now avoid eye contact on the Hamilton stairs.
  3. Gravity Don’t Pull Me by Rostam – “And the worst way I ever felt/Was from this same boy that I still miss/Cause I messed it up/And it broke my heart”–we feel similarly about the professor whom we adored, though we nevertheless still didn’t do the readings for their class.
  4. Better by Banks – For when it’s 4am in Butler, and you’re wishing you had done better on the midterm.
  5. Exodus by M.I.A. feat. The Weeknd – “Baby, you can have it all–tell me what for,” you say to yourself as you fall asleep watching Netflix the night before your Data Structures final.
  6. Sous le volcan by Arkadin – A song for when you realize that you probably went out too much this semester.
  7. Swim Good by Frank Ocean – In this song, Frank sings about swimming from something bigger than him (We’ve all had the urge to throw ourselves into the Hudson instead of writing our take-home final.) and (post-finals, perhaps) purification.
  8. First Love / Late Spring by Mitski – Late spring–the time of year when you have to have the conversation about summer with your semi-serious hook-up!
  9. SEPT 5TH by dvsn – Related to the last song: a tune for when you inevitably fuck up the summer convo with your hook-up.
  10. Vanish Away (1.2) by Février – Deliver us from CU and unto our homes!
