To be honest, I do not really feel close to my advisory group. They are probably the most physically attached people, but I feel as though there is an invisible wall secluding me from them. I at first thought that it was because I did not talk a lot in real life, but I realized that it was rather because Anna, my advisor, does not usually bring us any food. My hypothesis is that people get to be close to each other more easily when they share food.

I am not, however, attributing anything to Anna although I just mistakenly did, but lack of food. Anyone else, even I, could have brought some food for our advisory group. If you feel as if you are not friends with anyone, share some food with him or her.
