Nature is healing.

With more and more classes returning to in-person instruction, Austin’s very own Speedway is returning to its normal, bustling state, filled with college kids who have places to be. Although getting to class on time can be stressful in Texas’ still-blistering autumn weather, these funky beats are here to help you beat the heat and walk with ease. Aiding you in all your cross-campus needs are some familiar favorites, underrated bops, and, to top it off, Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.” This curation is here to help you put some pep in your step and make those long strolls a little more bearable, whether you’re rocking a pair of Docs or chilling in your Chacos.
