honk honk am goose (goose song) – Victor McKnight & annapantsu

It’s inspired by the untitled goose game. It’s funny and I like to listen to it when I am stressed and overwhelmed. It is fun to listen to.

Payton Stephens:

Hold On – Adele

This song is current with it being so new, and the vibe is soothing. It’s about overcoming struggles in life and may be what someone needs to get through exam week.

Olivia (Lou) Westcott:

GOOD OLD DAYS – Macklemore feat. Kesha

Listening to this reminds me to take a deep breath and know that when I am older, I will look back on my experiences in college and probably not even remember the stress I was under. There are some amazing things I get to experience here, and I need to not hold onto the hard parts. I, and we as a campus, are capable of doing hard things and finishing the semester strong. We will remember these ‘good old days.’

Aries – Gorillaz ft. Peter Hook & Georgia

This song gives me a calming vibe and just allows me to think peacefully while listening to it. I have listened to it before while I was working, and just appreciated the mindset and focus I was able to maintain while listening.
