Cornerstone is Fun!!

You know, I think it’s easy to get the wrong impression about the “Cornerstone Learning Community”. We may be kinda nerdy, and we do go to class together and all that jazz. But we know when it’s time to time to kick back and have a good time! Come to think of it, we really consider almost every moment a good time to kick back and have a good time.  Take this picture for example:



Left behind on some random subway in Germany? No problem. Let’s take a picture!




In my opinion, one of the most fun things that my Cornerstone class ever did was an EPIC game of Assassins.
Assassins is a serious game. It is always going on, meaning that you can “die” at any point, and must remain on edge indefinitely. Everyone is assigned a target, and everyone has a “killer”. Check out these rules, and you’ll get a pretty good idea of how epic it was:

The Rules (may be amended)
-Everyone will receive one target.
-You kill your target by striking them with a rubber band and/or paper wad.
-After you kill you're target, you inherit THEIR target, and continue assassinating people.
-The last person left alive wins! (NOT the person with the most kills)
-You may be killed at any time! EXCEPT:
-30 minutes before and after any organized Cornerstone event, including Cornerstone classes.
-DURING class lecture. (you're NOT SAFE while waiting before class starts, or after lecture is over!)
-In the MSC
-In Evans Library
-In All Faiths Chapels
-If you are in a group of four Assassins players (or former players), attacks don't count. (Important: if you are in group of 3, your attacker can't kill you, because they form the fourth person)
-If you hit your killer with a rubber band or paper, they can't kill you for six hours.
-Assassins, please remember that any action against the law is against the rules, and please try to respect others, while you are killing them. (No bathrooms, dorm rooms only when ppl are NOT changing, you get the idea)
-Prepare to die!"


My freshman year I ended up dying (lame!) as I was going out to assassinate someone in a DIFFERENT Assassins game! (Lauren, I WILL get you back for that you know.)

Anyways, Cornerstone is fun! Be prepared for hard work, excellent conversations, good friends, and just a wonderful time.
