Believe it or not, it is time, folks. Welcome to finals week.

The fall semester has come and gone, and Penn State students will be heading to their favorite study spots and hitting the books to LOCK IN AND STUDY. While many might have their sights set on heading home, one more week of pure academic overload sits between students and winter break.

Fortunately, all is not lost, and we created a playlist to help you push through however many exams you’re expecting to endure this week. With songs like “Kiss It Better” by Rihanna to “I Wish You Would (Taylor’s Version)” by Taylor Swift, this playlist has everything you need to push through a late-night study session wherever you’re studying for finals this week.
