Recently, I was thinking about this dreaded week in college called Finals Week. Then being an extremely big fan of The Beatles, I started listen to their music to the pass the time writing papers and studying. It was during this time that I complied a list of one hundred and thirty songs by The Beatles, that perfectly describe the four stages of Finals Week in College, (for some students).
Included with the title of the track, is the album that that song can be found on, so that way if you want to listen to some of these songs, they are easier to find on YouTube. The songs are listed in each individual list, in the order that the albums came out, and then the order that they are in on said album
I would put each song in here, through YouTube, but then the blog post would be tremendous, and finals would be over by the time you got to the last song!
