HOTLB: Whats your go-to study playlist?

With school approaching the halfway mark into the semester, we asked some Samo students what their go-to study music is to listen to when they need to focus on schoolwork.

“When I want some background noise, I usually prefer podcasts, and my go-to is I religiously listen to the daily by the New York Times every day, also their new podcast. I love Airchair Expert and Kylie Kelcy’s podcast as well as anything on parenting, or fitness or books,” - Jessica Gutierrez

“When I seriously want to lock in, I spam lo-fi music, or if I am feeling in a good mood, then I listen to more upbeat music to get me motivated,” -Rashida Ismael (’28).

“There is a boiler room DJ set on YouTube by Horsegirll, it is her second boiler room set from CDMX in Mexico City. It is about an hour long, and that is what I listen to almost daily.” - Colin Hendler(’27)
