Listen to the music

Being a senior in high school, about to embark on a journey that will (hopefully) change my life for the better, as I age and receive a higher education, this point in my life is often very stressful. What with endless college applications and even more habitual essays, I sometimes feel like I’m drowning in all the work that’s required.

Classic rock, which is the genre of music I was raised upon thanks to my parents’ amazing music taste, does a great job calming me down when I’m anxious. Ergo, I created a classic rock pick-me-up, for days when I’m feeling overwhelmed and worried. Here’s the tracklist and the link is as follows. Listen to the playlist.
