As the end of another quarter approaches, it’s easy to get in a funk and daydream about winter break at home with your family, or going away on an adventure with friends. You’re probably ready to be done with exams and get away from school, but that Thursday evening final demands to be studied for.
Whether you’re imagining yourself somewhere else, or determined to ace your next test, the Chainsmokers’ remix of José González’s “Step Out” is the perfect song to get you through it.
Originally made for the soundtrack of “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” this song provides enough energy to push you through your next all-nighter, and the lack of lyrics will help you stay focused. The depth and intermingling of instrumentation and technological sounds can also bring you to an entirely different world.
I’ve found myself enjoying this song the most when I’ve either been studying in the dining area of Paccar Hall on a sunny day, or on the bus watching the world pass me by. However you decide to listen to this song, I wish you luck on your finals. Winter break is almost here.
