When January rolls in, we’re convinced it will be easy to wake up early, journal daily, hydrate responsibly, and maybe even alphabetize our pantry. But here’s the thing: what if building a better routine in 2026 has less to do with willpower… and more to do with where you live?

Finals and those hectic BNMC rotations are creeping up faster than any of us want to admit. Right on cue with the holiday rush, this part of town sees the Metro Rail rumbling down Main, power-walking with half-finished coffee, and the Jacobs School lobby overflowing with students reviewing notes like it’s the Super Bowl.
