There’s A Song for That: Playlists for Every Situation

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

 

You don’t need to be strumming a guitar or banging on some bongos for music to be a part of your everyday life. Whether you use it to keep your focus at library, to pace your three-mile run, or to simply relax with friends, music serves a wide range of purposes. Music can even help mend a broken heart or calm your mind in times of stress. It’s just all about choosing the right song. That’s why below I’ve provided some go-to playlists for studying, exercising, distressing, and partying. Enjoy!
