Baking for comfort...

In the past few weeks staying in my new student flat, I've noticed that two of the three new residents in the corridor have baked something on the first or second day after moving in. Of course, I did the same too.

It's not difficult to explain why I suppose. For some reason, when you move into a completely new environment where everything and everyone is unfamiliar (and not always so keen to get to know you off the bat in this case), you kinda feel the need to bring something familiar into the picture. Something that allows you to set up a bit of your comfort zone in your new surroundings.

The other resident who didn't bake something happened to know the existing people in the corridor quite well already. So I guess there was no "need" to.

It seems like a logical theory.

Should I be worried that I've been baking so much lately?

Or then again, maybe it's just something I like to do anyway...
