Things You Never Thought About That You Should Be Thankful For This Year

The Janitors

These people are up before you, and staying on campus way beyond you. These are the people who are cleaning up the nail polish you chip away during class. The lace of your paper you rip off before  you hand it in because, if not your professor will have your head on a wall. The people who keep places looking spotless, including the bathrooms, people please don’t forget about the bathrooms. Think about how much you hate cleaning your bathroom at home, and then imagine a public bathroom. Yeah, let that one sink in.

The Bus Drivers

So you breeze by them every time you get off and shoot a quick “thank you” at them… but are you saying that because everyone else has and you don’t want to be that person who bypasses them without a word. These drivers, who keep the busses cool in the summer and warm in the winter drive you back and forth on a daily. Waiting for you as you take your grand old time on the way to the bus stop. They kindly welcome you on to the bus, and try their best to get you there in a timely manner.

The DRUNK BUS Drivers

PEOPLE OF BLOOM, this is HUGE. PLEASE don’t forget about these lovely people. They spend their Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10-2 shuttling around belligerent college students. For free. They are keeping you safe, from wandering around the streets at night, warm in these cold winters while you try to have a good time with friends. These drives out of the kindness of their hearts shuttle us Bloomsburg students around, while they endure people puking, fighting, and singing in a lovely key on tone deaf. Please, don’t forget to tip these people after getting off!

Department Secretaries

These people are amazing, think about it. They’re like the golden gates to getting into closed classes. They’re like the gatekeepers to your classes. Not to mention they’re always beyond approachable and willing to help with anything. If you’re scared to meet with an advisor or professor, try meeting with the department secretary. Odds are they will help you get over your fears, or get into a class or with any other problem you may be having with a class.

Your Roommates

The ones who deal with you day in and day out! The people who know your habits, schedule, what you like to eat, drink, all that good stuff they know. Your roommates listen to your rants, your vent sessions, your teats, your funny )but possibly awful) jokes you have to tell and about how unfair your professor is. Living together can be hard, but there is no getting around it that in college. Be thankful that you don’t have a world war three going on in your apartment. And if you are… you night want  to reevaluate things. Tis’ the season to be grateful, falalalala lalala!
