Back to school playlist
The soundtrack to the best Zoom playlist curated by The USD Vista staff
Anna Valaik/Assistant A&C Editor
For many college students, music carries them through their day-to-day activities. Whether it be driving to the grocery store or simply running along Mission Bay, students are always tuned into their devices, allowing someone else’s voice to flood their minds. It’s an emotional release, an uplifting motivator, and even a welcome distraction to never-ending Zoom lectures posted on Blackboard.
For this reason, The USD Vista created a back to school playlist for the spring semester. There is a little something here for everyone, no matter the mood, setting, or musical preference. Enjoy!
