Music To Study To

 I really appreciated the class we had on music, and it got me thinking about how I study. If I don't listen to some kind of music, I find that I get distracted very easily—constantly checking my phone, wasting time on social media, or looking around for a snack. When I first started college, I listened to my favorite music, and found that, unless I was in deep concentration, I got pretty distracted, anyway.

Just like Dr. Coyne said, I find that listening to music without lyrics is most helpful, but I've come across a new problem: classical music is my jam. I have a deep, abiding love of classical piano music, and I find myself getting almost as distracted by classical jams as I did from listening to music with lyrics. 

Here's my favorite song for some context (3:14-3:50 is the best part if you're in a hurry):



I guess I'll just have to deal with little distractions since it's better than big distractions. If you've got any classical music suggestions, I'd love to hear about it in the comments.
