It’s spring quarter. For many of us, this quarter marks the end of another school year. Look around: we’ve made it! We’re so close to being done – but not quite. I am here to help allay any sort of distress you may have about this. In other words, I made a playlist.
Indie music in particular encompasses both calming and mood-boosting effects, and this playlist is arranged so that each song’s energy builds off the other. Overall, there’s a range of moods and energies that are evoked here, altogether providing a perfect soundtrack to get you in “the zone” for studying and doing homework.
Note: These songs are by no means “new.” I’ve always been late to the party.

2. “Land of Gathering” – The Ceremonies
