It’s around this time every school year when we all need a little pick me up. The winter blues sometimes get us all down, but what better way to kick them than jamming to your best hype song? Several students here at Colorado Mesa University shared their favorite hype song with us and told us just what makes it the perfect candidate. We compiled them all into a playlist for everyone to enjoy.
