As Reading Week comes to an end and university is back in session, finding the motivation to study has never been harder. Whether you were lounging on the beach, cozying up under three layers of blankets at home, or eating an absurd amount of delicious food, now’s the time to put everything behind and get back down to the books! A great playlist can make the transition a lot easier. Here are some of my top jams to study to!

7. Movement by Hozier
It’s been 4 long years, but Hozier has finally shown up with the new content. Movement is his recently released single. The blues undertones truly make this piece stand out, and Hozier’s powerful voice is never one to miss.
Happy listening and studying!
