“What song or album is going to help you get through finals?”

As the end of the semester quickly nears, Sonoma State University students feel the rising tension as they begin to prepare for finals. Whether a freshman or super senior, the threat of overworked all-nighters looms near.

This time of the year can bring tremendous amounts of stress and anxiety to students. Many people have different methods of coping with stress and different ways of meditation. However, a large population of Seawolves see themselves turn ing to something we overlook everyday, music.

Music is a great for people to escape from reality and the hardships they’re dealing with and gain some peace of mind. Around Sonoma State, students have found music to be their outlet after a long class or a full day of studying.
