Three playlists to brighten the spring semester
New year, new playlists

With a new semester underway, students are once again caught up in the highs and lows of starting fresh. While new classes and professors can seem daunting, music is always there to fall back on to get students through the start of this year and beyond. For many, the second they put their earbuds in, the outside world and its countless responsibilities fade away; but, for others, music romanticizes their lives – even something as simple as walking to class becomes more interesting and less mundane. That is the beauty about music: it plays a different role in every person’s life, but is equally as important.
Whether this semester is full of spontaneous trips or late night study sessions, there is a playlist for everyone.
