Hitlist: First day of school jams

For those of us who wanted to just crawl back into bed this morning
Hitlist: First day of school jams

Waking up at 7:30 this morning, I was suddenly hit fast with the realization that summer is officially over.

On my way to class, I was torn between two competing thoughts. On one hand, I could not stop thinking about how much of a privilege education really is, and how grateful I was for the opportunity to be here.

On the other hand, however, I couldn’t stop myself from wanting to just crawl back into bed. Just being honest.

So, like most of my peers I passed on campus, I overcompensated feeling this duality of emotions on my commute to class with headphones, a large coffee and a “please don’t talk to me, I’m still partially sleeping” glare.

This week’s Hitlist aims to mimic the many thoughts one may have on their first day of classes, changing drastically by the hour. The songs are upbeat enough to listen to on your walk to class, but also reflect the real and broad set of emotions every student — from first year to fourth or even fifth year — felt today.

Whether you were excited, scared, stressed or exhausted (or a combination of all of the above) today, we at The Badger Herald wish you luck in the new semester.
