Finals Stress Relieve

I had a gathering of friends in my room on Sunday night. And by gathering it was my friends Adam, Hayley, and my roommate Taylor. We were all laying around watching TV and being typical best friends just picking on each other. Well the picking on turned into a jab here and a poke there. Next thing you know, Taylor is telling Hayley they should fight.  Just like their encounter in January I think that it’s a joke. However, one thing leads to the next and Hayley and Taylor are facing off with each other. It beginnings with Hayley going strong. She throws a few jabs at Taylor but he doesn’t take any of them very hard. Then Taylor decides it’s time for him to retaliate. He grabs onto Hayley and tries to get a hold. He eventually gets her into a decent hold but she is fighting to stay up. Next thing you know and Taylor grabs Hayley’s leg and basically flips her downward. She lands headfirst into the ground. At first Adam and I look at the whole situation in shock. But instead of reacting negatively to the situation we just proceed to laugh. We laugh really hard. My stomach was wrenched tight and looking over at Adam, he looked to have the same feeling. I looked up at Taylor and he is laughing pretty hard as well, however, his face seemed to have a nervous look as this was the second head injury incident he has had with Hayley. Then there was Hayley. Poor Hayley. This was the second time we laughed uncontrollably this semester before ever helping her out. I think that says a lot about friendships though. When you can choose to laugh with friends and make the most of a negative situation it just creates bonds with each other. I can laugh with these people and always find a way to just be happy. I had been stressing over finals and yet these were the people that I could relax with. I didn’t expect to see a spontaneous fight just break out and occur but these people find ways to have fun and create laughter. I even think this laughter is a form of love for each other and everything that this school has to offer. I am definitely going to miss these guys as summer rolls around. When the summer is over though, the laughter will pick right back up.
