My roommate eats the same breakfast every single day: cereal with milk and a banana on the side. At first, I found it boring. I like to try new things—toast, rice, eggs, or fruit. But she always has cereal. I asked her why. She said, “It’s easy, fast, and I never skip breakfast.” One day, I was running late and didn’t have time to make anything. She handed me a bowl of cereal. It wasn’t bad! It filled me up and saved time. Since then, I’ve started doing the same when I’m busy. I learned something from her: having a simple routine makes mornings easier. She says it also helps her mind wake up. Now, every time I pour cereal into a bowl, I think of her steady, calm start to the day. It’s not about the food—it’s about starting with something you can count on.
