8 People You Should Be Thankful For

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCD chapter.

We all know Thanksgiving is a time of unbounded love and gestures of gratitude for our friends and family. But there are several other instrumental people that cross our lives every day that we can’t forget to acknowledge this holiday season.

1. Your doctor

Whether you’ve been to 1 or 10 doctor visits this year, your physician has kept you healthy, prescribed you medicine and pretended to remember your name without looking at the sheet.

2. Your dentist

Who else is going to get into the coffee-stained and sticky parts of your mouth and give you fresh, white teeth?

3. Your mailman

He brings you your bills but also your impulsive, online shopping packages.

4. The Kardashians

Something about the ridiculousness and superficiality of this family just makes me feel good about myself as a human.

5. Your favorite author

You wouldn’t have had that cathartic, post-book experience had this author not given you his or her masterpiece of a read.

6. Your barista

Thank you Pete’s, for those early morning lattes and late night espresso shots.

7. Your landlord

 

Sorry for the carpet stains. Please let me stay here another year?

8. That kid that asks way too many questions in class.

Hey, I wanted to know the answers to some of those questions, too.

Happy Thanksgiving, Aggies!
