It’s about that time right? Midterm time? From the looks of the library from 7pm until Midnight, it definitely seems to be. The only thing I like about midterms is creating a new midterm playlist to listen to while I study, or put off studying.

Crafting the perfect midterm mixtape is a hard thing to do. It has to be mellow but not too mellow. There needs to be a bit of diversity. There need to be a few more upbeat songs to wake you back up when you feel yourself slipping. The songs need to be good, really good but you don’t want them to be too distracting. It can take longer to craft the playlist than it does to do the actual studying. So, being the incredibly generous blogger that I am, I decided to craft the mix for you. All you have to do is listen either on Spotify, or 8Tracks.

Let me know what you think about the mix either in the comments or by tweeting at me here. And if you have any songs you love to study to, send them my way.
