My daily mood is largely determined by two things: the amount of coffee I’ve slammed back and the music I have blasting during my arduous trek from Highland to Wilson. With Caribou Coffee gone and Local Java open, all I need is an upbeat playlist to keep me smiling no matter how long my walk is. So here’s a list of songs that make me almost as happy as a venti nonfat triple shot latte, iced– I hope they can do the same for you!
EDITOR’S MIX: Campus Editor Sam Zern
Sam Zern ('20) has been a member of The Vanderbilt Hustler since her freshman year, first as a staff writer and shortly after as assistant campus editor. She went on to be campus editor and, later, editor in chief. In her senior year at Vanderbilt, Sam was managing editor and streamlined recruitment and training processes.
In her time as a member of the editorial board, she has prioritized diversity and breadth in coverage, wanting to make sure as much of Vanderbilt as possible is represented in the paper. Outside of The Hustler, she studies education policy and sociology and has worked as a journalist for local publications in Austin and Nashville. She plans to pursue a career in journalism (and will gladly take any and all advice!)
