Notes
This one goes out to all my fellow perpetual students with never-ending studying. While I dislike studying, I truly enjoy learning. The joy of learning about what I am most passionate is enough to get me through my seventh year of post-secondary education - I wouldn't give my education up for the world.
Here's a study mix inspired by long nights in the library when I would wonder why on earth I signed my soul and bank account away to school. These tracks go well with rainymood.com :)

Hey brother, I have to say that perpetual studenting needs to be a thing. I'm in an interesting position, having graduated and worked for a number of years in various positions. I'm in grad school now as an older (non-traditional) student and it was the best decision I have made yet. I have low debt, no kids and a very successful and understanding wife, in short, ideally positioned to give Nicholson and Bolger some competition. The takeaways: first, the real world basically sucks and working sucks. If you are one of the lucky few to get a good job, there will still be aspects of that which will suck. Second, if I knew then what I know now, I never would have left. You are missing exactly nothing. Understood that people's mileage may vary, but returning to school can be a lever to achieve better work life balance in the event you have no kids, low debt and one significant income. It's not all wine and roses, but this is an approach that needs further exploration and refinement, in short, a book is probably in order.

Hi there! I used to post links to tracklists, but this hasn't been allowed for a few years now. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find my notes on my computer either! Eventually I'll work on putting all my playlists on Spotify, so far it's just mixes posted after 2015. Thanks for asking!
