Exam season has started! Are you prepared? In order to get you through these dreadful weeks, we’ve listed 7 inspiring, motivational songs that you can listen to while studying. You’re also in the right place if you’re in need of a motivational pep talk, affirmations, or a laugh. Either way, enjoy! :)
Can’t Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton) - Macklemore
If you want to get hyped up, and ready to slay your exam, listen to this song when walking into the Aletta Jacobs Hall. Works like a charm.
Fight Song - Rachel Platten
Put this song on if you need some motivation while you’re fighting your way through everything you need to do, or just a good cry to get you going again. Keep going, you’re doing good, you’re strong!
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
Another song to hype you up before taking your exam. Trust me. Listen to this song on your way to the Aletta Jacobs Hall and you’ll be unstoppable. You’re a champion!
Stayin’ Alive - Bee Gees
Stayin’ alive is what we’re trying to do. We’re not going to drown in work these weeks! We’re going to come out on top! Bonus: listen to this song if you need a little dance break - it’s too groovy not to dance to.
The Climb - Miley Cyrus
Studying is a difficult but rewarding journey. When you’re on the verge of giving up, listen to this song and remember: you’re already doing SO well!
Whatever It Takes - Imagine Dragons
This song gives main character energy if you ask me. This is your sign to be the main character and to get that stuff done, whatever it takes. Believe in yourself. You can do it!
Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) - Kelly Clarkson
A good reminder: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. After the exam period, be extra proud of yourself that you took all your exams and handed in all your assignments knowing that you did your very best! You’re a star!
