  1. The Weekend Playlist: Laurel’s Headphone-Worthy Playlist When you listen to music using headphones, you’re forced to really listen to music. With no other sounds but uplifted notes, your attention is focused exclusively on deciphering the message being delivered to you. Actively digesting this message allows you...
