Music is a great way to express emotions and Spotify has numerous playlists for any emotion. Below are six Spotify playlists to enjoy over winter break to fit any mood.
Relaxed
A good, relaxing playlist can set the right mood for the day. The playlist “Acoustic Chill” has music from Phoebe Bridgers, Hozier, dodie and more, making it perfect for a relaxing day over break.
Pllay this playlist while reading a book, doing a craft or even taking a bath for ultimate relaxation.
Emotional
For days when emotions are high, there’s nothing like belting out a sad song in the shower to fix everything.
The playlist “Piano Ballads” has music from Adele, Lorde, Dan + Shay, Sam Smith and more.
Imagine playing this playlist while solemnly looking out the car window on a long road trip while pretending to be the main character in a movie.
Annoyed
With the holiday stress, it is normal to feel annoyed or upset over break.
The playlist “teen angst” is the perfect playlist to angry scream/sing along to. With songs from artists such as Paramore, blink-182, Mother Mother and Ashnikko, this playlist is perfect for letting off some steam.
Determined
Although winter break is a great time to relax, it is also a time to get things done and catch up on all the projects that got pushed to the side during the semester.
The playlist “Get Chores Done” is perfect to play while working around the house on various projects, or when simply getting chores done. This playlist includes both throwbacks and modern music from artists such as Britney Spears, Lizzo, Rihanna, Olivia Rodrigo and Hot Chelle Rae.
Confident
Music has the power to change emotions and enhance the ones already felt.
The playlist “Gameday” includes songs that will instill confidence in anyone who listens. Maybe listen to this while getting ready or on the way to work to give a confidence boost. This playlist includes songs from Drake, Kayne West, Lil Nas X, Cardi B and more.
Nostalgic
Even though it is winter break, some may still be holding on to the autumn that Ohio never really seemed to get.
The playlist “pumpkin spice” is perfect for creating an atmosphere of fall vibes. Listen to this playlist while curled up in a blanket with a fall-scented candle and, of course, a pumpkin spice latte for the ultimate fall nostalgia. This playlist includes music from Bon Iver, Taylor Swift, The Lumineers and girl in red.
