Grow back down

One phrase: Nerf gun battles.

I found that ever since I entered high school, I have forgotten about having fun amongst all the work and stress; I forgot about being a kid.

Every year (or more like every term), my boyfriend's university puts on a Humans vs. Zombies tournament, so to speak. And they play using Nerf guns. I, being a girl and not very into shooting and things, had never touched a Nerf gun prior to this day. It also doesn't help that it is usually advertised as a "kid's toy".

I went over to his apartment and along with his roommates, we had several small Nerf gun battles. It was most definitely a fun experience.
Fun.
Every day, every night, I lock myself inside my room and all I do is study (with the occasional TV shows); work. All the time, I forget about going out, having fun, being a kid again.

The older we get, the more serious work gets laid upon us. All the more to grow back down again and embrace the inner child within ourselves.

My boyfriend has taught me, amongst many other things, to become a kid once in a while. Not worrying about anything, just having fun. Enjoying childish things like Nerf gun battles.

It was short, but definitely the most fun I have had in a while.
