Post your favorite song that you listen to on the way to the library or on your way to the exam that helps you stay motivated.

Carry on my wayward son is it for me:

Jhene Aiko – W.A.Y.S (Why Aren't You Smiling?)

“Why aren't you smiling? Life can get wild when you're caught in the whirlwind. You gotta understand, there's really no end, there's really no beginning. There's really no real, there's really no pretending. There's really no fail, there's really no winning. Cause nothing really is and everything really isn't.”

“I gotta show them, that I can keep going. I gotta keep going, I gotta keep going, I gotta keep going.”

I'm actually going to see her live in concert on the 11th. Hopefully I'm not too depressed from my FAR score! Haha.

BEC - July 2014
REG - Aug 2014
FAR - January 2015
AUD - May 2014
Ethics - 3x...

I find listening to motivational music with a positive feel helps to visualize the pass. I'm usually a Slipknot kind of gal so that says a lot. I completely switch it up with studying and make sure to listen to Victory by Tye Tribbett right before I walk into the testing center. Passed everything the first time while working full time in a demanding job.

You're Next in Line for a Miracle – Shirley Caesar

Victory – G.A. & Tye Tribbett

Conquerors – Kirk Franklin

The Storm is Over Now – Kirk Franklin

REG - 91
BEC - 89
FAR - 89
AUD - 97

I'm DONE BY PRAYER AND BY FAITH!! GOD IS GOOD!! Used Becker to study...supplemented by the Bible.

I listend to “Eye of the Tiger” on the way to Prometrics for my first FAR exam. Failed it. (Not like me not studying much had anything to do with it. LOL).

Thought I would try something different this time around. I played Usher's “More.” Helped psych me up.

The tallest oak in the forest was once just a little nut that held its ground.

During REG studies there were just 2 songs for me.

1 – Metallica – For Whom the Bell Tolls – live from Seattle, 1989. It doest not get any better than this, and it does not get any more Metallica than this. You gotta check this out. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi021mb0AtI

2 – Håkan Hellström – Det kommer aldrig vara över för mig. This one you will never get, cause its in Swedish. But it's one of my favorite songs of all times. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rrfz38D128w

krokofilen – I worked front stage security for a Metallica concert, if that wins me cool points.

I netted two Kirk Hammett pics out of the ordeal as well.
