In my cozy room, I was busy taking notes, trying to make sense of the material in front of me. At the same time, my friend, Carter and I were connected not through a call or vidcall, but through Spotify's Group Sessions. The playlist we chose was mine and his, filled with upbeat and mellow tunes that somehow matched our mood perfectly. As the music played, I felt a sense of connection even though we were miles apart. Every new song was like a shared secret, a little moment we experienced together without needing words. Occasionally, we’d send quick messages in the chat, singing along through bubble texts like, "and if a double-decker bus crashes into us"—"To die by your side" and I couldn’t help but smile. The music turned what could have been a monotonous study session into something lively and fun. Even though we weren’t physically together, those shared melodies created a bond that made studying feel less like a chore and more like a joyful, shared experience.
