This past May, I, along with many other mortarboard and gown-clad college students, watched some fireworks spew out of the UT Tower and officially graduated. While exciting, scary, and everything in-between, the new post-grad lifestyle can be a mixture of both incredibly turbulent decisions and stretches of sheer boredom. You then start to wonder, “Is this what everyone else said adulthood would be?” Never fear — we’ve crafted a playlist full of both hopeful and existential tracks to accompany you on that coffee date to meet with friends in a new city or just try and find a decent paying job. Press shuffle and watch your troubles drift away — at least until your mom asks how the job search is going.
