College acceptance letters are rolling in, you’re getting an overwhelming amount of mail from numerous schools about important dates and deadlines, and you’ve got some big decisions to make these upcoming months. I remember these times… no pressure, right? What I found to be helpful in these moments was music. I love making playlists, even for other people, so I thought I would make one for you and any other students looking to de-stress from that college to-do list and get you all pumped for being #NazBound. You can check out this playlist on Spotify by clicking here or searching #NazBound on Spotify and clicking the playlist under my username (alyssabileschi). I’ve also linked the songs to YouTube if you would rather listen that way.
This Spotify playlist is collaborative! You can add songs to it for others to listen to whenever you’d like. It’s made up of some current hits by artists like Khalid and Sam Smith, a throwback by The Neighbourhood, a few upbeat songs for when you’re taking a study break, and some mellow ones for when you get back to the school grind. It’s a good mix of pop party songs and low-key relaxers.

Feel free to make your own playlist that reflects your mood when you realized you’re #NazBound and share it with us on our social media channels (Twitter, Official Instagram, Nazareth Students Instagram)! If you want some more music inspiration, be sure to listen to the Nazareth College radio station, WNAZ The Beat, to hear what music current Naz students are interested in! Also, I make playlists every few months on Apple Music if you’re interested in finding new music there (disclaimer: the linked Apple Music playlist includes songs that are explicit).
