Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Jillian (class of 2027) and features songs to get you off to a good start in 2026!
2026 — This Is Your Year

This playlist is made to remind you that you are in control of the coming year. While we are all busy with school and work, don’t forget to spend some time doing the things you love. Book that trip, start that new hobby, and/or say yes to something new. Whatever it is, make 2026 yours. 🙂
