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.
