Mood-Boosting Songs To Get You Through Finals Week

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

Finals week is undoubtedly the most stressful time a college student can face. However, most of us don’t have time to get a massage or head to the yoga studio to de-stress.  Fortunately, there is something that is priceless and just as beneficial: MUSIC! Along with meditation and exercise, Women’s Health lists “Listen to Music” as one of the most effective ways to unwind and relax! Don’t forget to take some time for yourself. Here are some songs that never fail to put me in a good mood!
