I love Founders.

Really, Covenant's whole community caught my attention. But staying on Jungle in January during scholarship weekend solidified my desire to not only come to Covenant, but live in Founders Residence Hall. Where else on campus can you hear bagpipes, guitars, and saxes all harmonizing from different stairwells? Where else is it not only acceptable but celebrated to have a toilet as your hall relic? What about eating pancakes, sushi (made by boys across the hall in the lobby), and yummy garlic and tomato pasta all at once for a family reunion dinner? What other hall besides Catacombs would have a tattoo party where multiple boys let a tattoo artist ink their hall symbol onto their bodies? What about piercing parties where your RA skillfully pierces the cartilages of willing women? The doors are always open. It either smells like coffee, cinnamon, or coffee in the girls' halls. You really need a treasure map to find your way around....unless you live here and constantly have to direct people to the exits. Our halls take on earth tones and we all listen to Jonsi or Raenbow Station. Indian missionaries come at midnight to give testimonies (Benny Prasad). Whenever you take the elevator, you simultaneously pray and fear that there is a couch in it with Catacombian men reading the newspaper and eating milks and cookies. Needless to say, Founders is more than a home away from home, it's a lifelong love. Caledon <3
