Once first quarter hits, it seems as if the only thing life revolves around is school. Highlighters, flashcards, mechanical pencils, you’re practically swimming in them. Walmart has become your second home. The memory of a social life is slowly fading away, and the only thing on your mind is how on earth you’re expected to remember everything from last semester. First quarter is arguably the worst, and there’s no quick fix to get rid of the perpetual homework assignments and continuous Schoology notifications reminding you just how far away summer is, but there is a way to alleviate the pain. Here are some uplifting jams to get through first quarter.
