I went on my first tour of Baylor University almost exactly three years ago. I remember looking at my mom with disbelief halfway through our walk across campus. Sure, I appreciated the overly-nice, almost (sic)kening kindness that legitimately every student, faculty, and staff member showed me. But I couldn't help but think that it was all a facade; there was no possible way that every person at this college was truly welcoming, helpful, and positively chipper.

When I finally stepped foot on campus during the fall of my freshman year as a real student, I held my breath, waiting patiently to experience someone who didn't fit the overly-kind and generous Baylor mold.

Well, almost two years later, I'm about to pass out from holding my breath. It's true folks; Baylor is filled with genuinely nice people. If you don't believe me yet, here's 24 almost unbelievably kind experiences that I've witnessed at this amazing school.

1. I can leave my $2,000 Macbook in Moody Library for two hours and return to find it untouched.

2. If you lose your student ID, there is a literal manhunt on Facebook with students trying to return it to its rightful owner.

3. Ms. Elaine at Penland dining hall has made a point to memorize my omelette order in the mornings.

4. I don't think I've ever opened a door for myself. Gotta love Baylor men.

5. Strangers throw out compliments like confetti.

6. The Baylor police will drive you home at night for free when it's too cold, too rainy, or you're just too tired to walk.

7. My French professor came to watch one of my lacrosse games. With a foam finger. Cheering loudly for ME.

8. There is always someone to get notes from if you have to miss class.

9. Ms. Mei. 'Nuff said.

10. I got trampled while running the Line freshman year, and a stranger made sure that I was OK.

11. People are ALWAYS willing to study with you so you don't have to sit alone in Moody Library.

12. When you write "Do not erase" on a whiteboard in Moody, people seriously don't erase your notes.

13. My professors make an effort to learn my name and still remember me once I finish the class.

14. My professors actually email me back. Promptly.

15. People constantly yell "Sic 'em!" and "Welcome to Baylor!" when tour groups walk by.

16. Even the living, breathing BEARS on campus waved to me, once.

17. No one has ever made fun of my Crocs.

18. A student told me I looked beautiful in class one day. When I wasn't wearing ANY makeup.

19. Students willingly share their Quizlets with strangers.

20. I unknowingly dropped a dollar out of my pocket, and someone RACED behind me to give it back to me.

21. Making friends here is actually effortless.

22. When you make eye contact with a stranger, they almost always smile.

23. When I didn't have my car here freshman year, I was offered rides almost every single day.

24. I told President Livingstone that I was her biggest fan, and she didn't think I was weird.
