Let’s face it! Waking up early in the morning, every Monday, is way more tedious than it already sounds. The thought of going back to all the mundane tasks of the entire week makes our head spin. The worst part? There is no way around it!
But what to do? We have to get our degrees and pay our bills after all. So we find solace in music. Everyone has their own pick and so, we asked a few people what they listen to to set themselves for the day. Here is a list of 30 such songs we compiled for you to help you beat the Monday blues:
