This playlist is compiled from songs by different staff members of The Cuestonian newspaper who helped them get through the spring 2026 semester. 

With songs like “Trebles Finals: Bright Lights/Bigger City/Magic” from Pitch Perfect 2, that staffer Ayssa Garcia used because it was so “iconic” and “motivated (her) to get work done.”

To “This Year” by The Mountain Goats that Dr. Shermak listens to to keep him ”working hard” and to “stick to (his) beliefs” after this “really challenging semester.” 

It has many songs across many genres that helped us all get through this final semester before summer break.
