I also asked some people to describe what comfort food meant to them. Here are some of the answers I received:

"Comfort foods are a lot of the foods I ate when I was 13"

"Comfort foods are foods that make you feel at home."

"Comfort foods make me think of a nice home cooked meal."

"Comfort food is food I eat when I need comforting."

"Comfort food is food you want to eat when you have nothing else to do."

We all have different comfort foods for many different reasons. Some are just your favorite foods and some may be the food you ate when you were little.

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. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

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