Need New Music for Finals?

With the last week of classes already reeling in, finals are the next big catch. Students across campus will invade public study spaces and before you know it, at every angle there will be a Cornellian wearing earbuds while reviewing notes, studying their textbooks, and hammering down on their laptop keyboard. When the time comes for you to get in gear, you will most likely find yourself with your headphones on, ready to conquer…just like the many students you passed by while searching for an empty study spot in Uris, Olin, Mann or whichever building you were brave enough to enter during the most stressful two weeks of the semester.  

For many young adults, listening to music while completing assignments or preparing for difficult tasks is what brings life to a tiresome reality. It is always a good idea to add onto whatever keeps your momentum going while you check the next thing off your never-ending to-do list. If music is your primary tactic of self-motivation, check out this list of albums by lesser known acts. New music + taking breaks + reading Slope = An Energized You Who Will Leave the Semester Feeling Unstoppable!
