The 5 Best People And The 5 Worst People On Baylor's Campus

Because I love judging people and don't know how to stop.

I have been told I am a "people person." I don't really know what that means, and somehow I suspect nobody does, but I do know that I love people a whole heckin' lot. It has always been my life goal to meet everyone in the world. Just have 30 seconds with them. Like the longest speed dating game ever, minus the awkwardness and the creepy gentleman who see that you have all your teeth and just want to get outta there already and go back to their place.

But I digress.

I tend to make judgments about people, within 30 seconds of meeting them. Eighty percent of human communication is done silently through actions and body language and I trust my instincts, always. So I can know if I will hate or love someone pretty damn fast.

On a college campus, there are people you see/meet that you will love. And people that you will utterly abhor with every fiber of your being. Because there are so many damn people, I have made a list. To save us both time, and offer amusement. To me.

5 BEST PEOPLE:

1. Guys who open doors

We don't have gentlemen in California. Or I have yet to find them.

2. People who say "Bless you" when you sneeze

I know you heard me.

3. People that smile at you

Don't just look away quickly. Don't frown or look weirded out. I am smiling out of love.

4. Cafeteria workers

The people at Penland, Memo, East Village, Brooks, anywhere on campus! So kind and helpful and genuinely caring. I love them. They smile and always say bless you. (S/o to Justin at the POD store, he is my favorite.)

5. Gardeners

The grass don't cut itself.

5 WORST PEOPLE:

1. Skateboarders who try and look cool but just end up tripping a lot

I feel bad. Watching you.

2. Slow Walkers

MOVE FASTER. I AM LATE FOR CLASS.

3. Partyers

The ones that went to 4 frat parties on Saturday and can't stop talking about it. Ew.

4. Chapel Sitters that sit on the aisle seat

Why do you look angry when I try and get past you?? You sat there! You knew people would need to get past you! Stop glaring.

5. People that don't LOVE Baylor

Greatest university in the world. And I will stand by that forever.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
