Songs to help soothe you through your studies

Anna Thorne, Arts & Entertainment Editor • February 24, 2021

Need a mental break after a long day of studying? Listen to this playlist to soothe the brain with peaceful melodies.

Focusing while working on homework or studying can be a difficult feat for many people, but there are countless ways to aid the brain in being able to stay on a one-track thought. One of these strategies happens to be listening to calming music.

Although it would be easier to avoid studying altogether as it is a harrowing task for many, this playlist should provide soothing background noise to help get students through their most difficult study sessions.

About the Contributor

Anna Thorne, Arts and Entertainment Editor

Anna Thorne is currently a senior at Pleasant Valley and has a love for friends, family and all things summer. Other than her role as the Arts and Entertainment editor for the Spartan Shield, she enjoys her job as a nanny and spends lots of time with her youth group at St. Paul Lutheran Church. She is an active member of Pleasant Valley’s Chamber Choir — although she hates singing in front of people — and finds joy in late night car rides. Anna is also involved in extracurriculars such as National Honor Society, Social Committee and the Spartan Ambassador Program. Christmas movies make her smile all year long, and aside from her love for people, she also enjoys listening to new music. She plans to major in speech language and hearing sciences next year in hopes of becoming a Speech Language Pathologist, and is interested to see how living away from her twin brother, Alex, will go. Anna aspires to make someone smile everyday and strives to show kindness to everyone.
