By simply breaking down the word Philosophy you get "Philo" meaning love or active pursuit, and sophy/sophia meaning wisdom. This allows the distinction between a philosopher and a non-philosopher to be easy. A philosopher is a person who loves and/or purses knowledge. I think a philosopher is someone who thinks logically and asks a lot of questions about everything.

Before I got to college I simply accepted the facts that I was given without much thought or question. Now that I am in college I find myself wondering why something is the way it is, or asking about how it came about.
In my opinion, some specific qualities that I have that might make me a
