My Adventures Traveling Alone

Traveling alone doesn't have to be scary, but it will almost always be interesting.

My Adventures Traveling Alone
Mckenzie Foust

For Fall Break, my plan was to fly to Pennsylvania to see my family. I did make it to Pennsylvania, but not without a little adventure. I tripped on my driveway before driving to the airport, walked to the wrong security gate, had my left side checked at security, and heard the loud conversation of Trump supporters. That was just the time I had before my first flight! This is the first time I have ever flown by myself. I've either flown with my dad or my friends. Navigating an airport by yourself can be scary at first but gets easier. Here's my adventure at the airports.

Pre-Airport:

Scraped my leg trying to get to my car. That's not a bad omen. Right?

Airport 1- Piedmont Triad International Airport:

Walked to the wrong security gate. The security worker had to point out my mistake. I'm curious as to how much that happens.

My left side was felt up in the right security gate. I wonder what I could've hidden there.

The Trump supporters got louder to drown out Michelle Obama. If the Trumpeters get louder do the facts disappear?

American Airlines Flight 4927

Smallest plane I've ever been on. There was no Sky Mall. How will I ever know what I can't and won't buy?

The view was incredible, even though the view from the ground was like the town model in Beetlejuice.

Airport 2- Philadelphia International Airport:

Flight delayed. Stuck there for 3 1/2 hours. Not pleased.


Smashburger. Steak N' Shake + Red Robin + Red Robin prices = Smashburger. Smallest fries ever.

Lady: "Will you be here long?"
Me: "Yes."
Lady: "Can I use the bathroom?"
My Thoughts: I don't know, can you?
What I said: "Sure, I'll watch your MacBook for you!"

I am trusted to watch a MacBook. I have a trustworthy face?

Called my grandmother and talked to her about my flight. As this was happening, a guy was glaring at me for being on the phone while picking his nose!

THE PLANE ARRIVED!!!


American Airlines Flight 4848:

Still no Sky Mall. But WAIT! An empty seat beside me? YES!

Two minutes later: Snooty lady in seat. Snooty lady's dog under seat.

Flight attendant looks like what I picture to be Amy Schumer in 30 years.

Airport 3- Harrisburg International Airport:

Ran to my parent's car and hugged my brother. Best part of my trip.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
