Music and Studying

Last week was probably one of my busiest week I have had so far, within this semester. It is probably because I mostly had exams last week and papers to revise and turn in. When I study for exams I usually listen to music on full blast through my headphones and, I find it so helpful. When I am studying and listening to music it helps me remember for when I have to take the exam. All I have to do is sing the song in my head and for some odd reason I am able to remember the answer. It is so strange because, at times I catch myself bobbing my head to a song I have in my head while I am taking an exam. For instance, when I am studying it could be that I have to read something but, all at the same time I have music blasting through my headphones and singing along to the song but, I am still studying all at the same time. I recently read an article that is about college students and listening to music during studying and, how it usually benefits them in being able to remember. Now, it does not work for most people because, others find it a distraction but, I for one find music to be so helpful. I usually listen to upbeat songs but, I noticed that when I am writing a paper I listen to Beyonce, for some odd reason and, I don’t even know why. We all have our different ways of studying and mine, just so happens to be to listening to music.
