Through the eyes and ears of an LAS undergrad suffering from the endless daydreams of zombie uprisings, preferable zombie killing playlists (mine primarily being Every Time I Die chased with Frank Sinatra), and whatever else I could be thinking about other than homework (such as writing this article), one must sometimes acknowledge the mere role of a student.

To get my mind back to supposedly important matters, I listen to a Grooveshark playlist consisting entirely of conductor Eric Whitacre. The pure harmonious sound he is able to produce from his choirs along with the blissful melodies he composes captures the true essence of peace, drowning out the morbid awesomeness of an undead apocalypse and planting the whitest of noises in the depths of your soul.

For those of you who have grown a tolerance for such serenity (or sick-mindedly daydream of killing zombies to such beautiful music), I recommend supplementing your dose of Whitacre with a backdrop of Rainymood.com. The high quality looped recording of nostalgic, good ol’ fashioned precipitation compliments Whitacre in such synchronized ecstasy that studying will become the least stressful part of your day.

Don’t believe me? Try playing any one of these tracks in unison with rainymood.com.
