In reading about the types of communitas gained in Turner & Turner's book, it makes me realize how I have made some my great friends here at school. I find that it was mostly spontaneous, and gained through hanging out or going somewhere as a group, gaining new members as we continued. It was just a collective existence with no pretext other than just relaxing and enjoying company. In this, I have felt connections with these people like nothing I ever would expect. I had never really felt an understanding of community that was never organized before. We wouldn't seek people out to join us; they just would if they felt they wanted to.
