Comfort

I preferred to just go and get it done and over with. Once it was done, my anxiety level dropped drastically. I almost felt a sense of relief and comfort when I was finally able to go back to me seat. I think that is a normal feeling for most people, the only thing then to wait for is your grade, and that for some reason I wasn’t as anxious about. I knew that I was done, and that I did the best that…

outside. Summer consisted of enchanted forests, while the winters transformed into wonderlands. The outdoors was somewhat of a storybook to me. It held my imagination and dreams. To me nature has not become a symbol of my childhood, but also a place of comfort. There is no judgment, rather a sense of freedom. While visiting the exhibition The Abyss Gazes Into You by Spencer Murphy his representation of his child and nature is one I appreciated. Doing some research I found out the Murphy too…

Sitting around the hardwood table in the dormitory, we constructed together a meal that we felt embodied the term “comfort food” for all of us. This recipe, called Spicy Ramen Rice Casserole, held the desirable characteristics we sought after such as: spiciness, home-style flavor, and warmth. Most of the ingredients for this recipe came from Jewel grocery stores and ranged in price from $2.79 for both the beef ramen and the cheesy rice to the pre-cooked meat at $3.99. The jalapeños and hot sauce…

A comfort zone is something that a person feels comfortable with. It can be a person, a place, a thing, or even an idea. For example, there are people who have dogs to relieve stress and comfort them. Some other comfort zones are homes, workplaces, gyms, and even cars. They can also be a persons home town or neighborhood. My comfort zone was Chicago and being surrounded by individuals that I was familiar with. I got out of my city in 2012 and never looked back. People feel the most secure…

Since the beginning of the Fall 2016 semester, chocolate has become my comfort food. I cannot spend a week without having chocolate at least five out of the seven days of the week; two to three king sizes of any given chocolate candy’s brands per day. This behavioral intention (i.e. attitudes toward the behavior) now turned into a negative health behavior. My excessive consumption of chocolate has become a health compromising behavior (i.e. behaviors that detract from or damage health) since it…
