Send to Kindle

School is progressively starting up again across college campuses nationwide, and as we wave bye-bye to freedom and happiness the summer offered, suddenly we are overwhelmed with all the stresses of college. It’s totally normal to feel a bit bummed during the first few weeks- or months- of school. It can be a difficult task adapting to new routines, meeting new people, and being away from family. That’s why feeding your back to school blues with the right songs can idealize the situation- not make it better, per se, but let you get the absolute most out of your gloomy mood. Here is a compilation of dismal tunes to play loudly as you readjust to college life.

All the music posted can be purchased on Amazon or iTunes.
