Regardless of whether you’re a second semester senior or not, every high schooler comes to a point in the year where summer is a tantalizing dream, and the slog of endless A and B days have them longing for freedom. But for lucky seniors, the 3 month countdown to say goodbye to the halls of Seattle Prep has begun. Without college applications, standardized tests and grades that really matter, the struggle to stay in the moment instead of looking to the future is a tough battle. In order to capture the essence of what this feeling is like, the Panther has put together a playlist that every Prepster, senior or not, can relate to.

“The Lazy Song” – Bruno Mars

“Today I don’t feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed”

“Your head will collapse if there’s nothing in it and you’ll ask yourself where is my mind”

“I Don’t Care (I Love It)”- Icona Pop

This Swedish pop duo’s 2014 hit perfectly hits on the spirit of apathy that senioritis brings. “You want me down on earth, but I am up in space”

“I’ve loved and I’ve lost, But that’s not what I see, So, look what I got. Look what you taught me”

“School’s Out for Summer”- Alice Cooper

“School’s out forever, my school’s been blown to pieces, no more pencils no more books, no more teacher’s dirty looks”

“Glory Days”- Bruce Springsteen

“Glory days well they’ll pass you by, glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye”

“Gotta Go My Own Way”- Vanessa Hudgens

“I’ve got to move on and be who I am, I just don’t belong here, I hope you understand. We might find a place in this world someday, But at least for now I gotta go my own way”
