One of the best parts about the new year and new semester is the chance to establish new routines. These past few weeks have been about adjusting to new lunch times, gym schedules, assignments, and office hour greetings.

The first week of classes is a little like the first week of January. I’m extra nice to everyone, striving for 10,000 steps a day, and trying not to eat carbs. Then, by January 7—or the second week of the semester—I've given up on my utopian resolutions and succumbed to Late Night at the Rat.
