Simon & Garfunkel

What better way is there to kick off freshman year than jamming to a playlist as alternating feelings of terror and doe-eyed curiosity wash over you?

One of the best times to listen to music is on a long, lonely drive. No limits to how loud you can blast your favorite tunes, no one to judge your music choices — your car transforms into a musical sanctuary.

The film is replete with enough wistful guitars and empty-eyed closeups of its various players to drive home the supremely identifiable sentiment of being marooned unto oneself, with satisfaction and fulfillment only fleeting.

This playlist will hopefully let you feel your pain of your bad midterm so that you can get back into the right mindset for your next midterms.
