How Music and Art is Getting Me Through the Semester

While this semester isn't as hectic as previous semesters, exam week is here to make me feel stressed and helpless. I calm myself by listening to good music while looking at amazing art. My favorite artist at the moment, Hajin Bae, really inspires creativity in my struggling time. Here is a few of my favorite picture by Hajin and the songs I listened to while looking at it.
1. 
This picture makes me feel euphoric and at ease.  In my head, I see two young adults who are unsure of themselves and the world around them.  The songs I listened to while admiring this picture are mostly rock n' roll. Here is a link to the songs I listened to:  Virtual Paradise

2. 
This happy spring photo makes me want to walk barefoot on the grass! While I am being crammed with tests and essays, this photo makes me feel free and bliss.  The music I listened to while enjoying this pic are indie pop. Here's a link to the songs I listened to: Spring Break

3. 
This photo brings me back to my childhood days.  Before middle school I had loved riding my bike.  I had stopped riding my bike because the neighborhood bike gang took over the street.  This art reminds me of those happy times when I was carefree. The odd mix of music I listened to while enjoying this picture is indie pop. Here is a link to the songs I listened to Sweet Protagonist
