While there are still a few more weeks left to hit the beach or get away for the weekend (if you just now started classes, don’t worry we got you covered too), it’s time for students to start thinking about taking a break from their Netflix accounts and hand in their bath suits, because it’s time to go ham on the books. As daunting as the beginning of the new school year may seem, it’s also an exciting time for you to reconnect with old friends, make new friends, and get a jump start on a wild and stressful (yet educational) ride.

You may need motivation to hit those expensive books, or just need to calm your nerves before taking a test. Let’s not forget those school year love interests and wild house parties on the weekends. What is a successful house party without a lot of dancing, and coming across at least one person who has bought alcohol using a fake ID? Either that or they got an older sibling to buy some instead. Whatever you experience in the new school year, we have the perfect music for your Back to School playlist to mentally prepare you, pump you up and feel motivated! Music helps in any situation. Whether you are going back to school or work, you’ll be able to find the songs that will get you through successfully the days until the time comes to step foot in the office or classroom. If listening to vinyls in your room is the way you want to help motivate yourself, the use of equipment like preamps may come in handy if you are looking to get the best quality and amplification from your music. Regardless of what you choose to have on your playlist or what vinyl record you decide to put on, music can make such a difference to everyone’s mood, even if you do have to go back to school next week.
