20 Sweet: Pre-Midterm Songs


The week before midterms is not a time to panic, but rather a time to occasionally think academic thoughts so that midterms won’t bang you over the head quite as hard as they usually do.

So for this week, we give you some songs that will help you at least listen to academic-sounding music as you carry on with what may be those not-so-academic activities.

Come Monday, after a week of these subliminally schoolish songs, you’ll be oh-so-ready to go.
