January, the start of a new year and the hope associated with this blustery, chilly season often “traps” people inside due to poor weather conditions.  However, with the promise of a new year comes newfound energy.  Staying inside isn’t all bad though and people often listen to music to pass the time.  

This playlist gives off the perfect vibe as the new year begins and students return to school refreshed and ready to achieve their goals, both academic and personal. In order to get in the “groove”, upbeat songs are key as they offer happiness and can act as mood boosters during the shorter winter days when there is more darkness than light.

The January playlist includes songs such as, “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars, “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC, “Single Ladies” by Beyonce, “Don’t Stop the Music” by Rhianna, “Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore, “My House” by Flo Rida, “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5, “Million Dollar Baby” by Tommy Richman, “Fireball” by Pitbull, and “Just Dance” by Lady Gaga.
