My Study Playlists

I've just finished two years of pretty intense studying for the Leaving Cert, and music was a great motivator through those hundreds of hours of study. Here's a sample of the music I used to keep me going - let me know any study music recommendations you have in the comments or on Twitter @frizzyroselle!

Note: I never said the songs weren't cheesy.
