As some may know, I listen to music pretty frequently and it’s a huge part of my daily life. I currently have over 175 Spotify playlists, and I make new ones for every month depending on my mood, the season, or whatever songs are on repeat. Recently (although admittedly late to the game), I downloaded the Airbuds app and it has quickly become my newest fixation. It’s incredibly fun to see what your friends are listening to in real time, whether it’s to discover new music to steal for my own playlists or occasionally judge their music taste. So, I got to thinking and was curious as to what Holy Cross students are listening to, and asked around campus to see what people have been streaming recently and compiled it into one giant playlist (Spotify playlist link included at the end!). So, here is what some of our students have been streaming recently:
