1. The people are so friendly

Whether you're just there to take the free samples or you're genuinely interested in buying "all natural honey" or "home-grown salsa" everyone working the farmers market is just happy to have you and share their good with you. And everyone, in general, is happy to share their morning outside with everyone else.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
