Well, folks, finals week is upon us.

Whether you’re screaming “Yay” or “Nay” about the end of the semester, we’ve made a playlist to help you get in the right mood for finals week. It could be your first finals week, or your last, and we know it can be stressful. So let’s put our headphones in, jam out, and crack open the textbook.

For the moments where you are locked away in The Stacks, locking in, walking around campus for one final time before heading home, or calculating the minimum score you need on your finals rather than studying, these songs are perfect for all of your finals week needs!

“Ready Or Not”, you are prepared for these finals; it’s got to be done. So let’s all take a deep breath and hope getting A’s in LionPath isn’t just in our “Dreams.” Happy listening, and good luck on finals, folks!
