how to drill 近隣 without losing my mind??

im trying to drill 近隣 but its so boring i want to cry. maybe i should write it while listening to a 歌手? but then i get distracted. also wait, is it true 近隣 is only for sketchy neighborhoods? i think i saw that on reddit. i tried making a weird story with 同志 to help me remember but now im just more confused. how do you drill this kanji without dying of boredom idk
