Two weeks ago, I did something so spontaneous, so out of nowhere, so unlike me… I bought a plane ticket! Two weeks ago I bought a plane ticket home. Although my bank account is very sad I did this, I have no regrets.

Two days ago, at 5:30 in the morning I got on a tiny plane in State College Pennsylvania and flew to Minneapolis. The only people who knew I was coming were my grandparents because they were my ride from the airport. It was quite the journey. Getting to the State College airport, I had to take an Uber. First Uber ride ever! The car smelt like smoke, he put my luggage in the seat next to me – not in the trunk, and he did not say a single word to me the whole ten minute drive. However, I made it to the airport. No one knew how to wear a mask on my plane, not even our flight attendant. But I made it to my layover in Detroit Michigan. I had thirty minutes to run across the airport and make my connecting flight, but I made it. My grandparents picked me up from the airport and I was on my way home!

First person I surprised was my dad. My family owns a small taco deli  that my dad works at everyday. My grandparents took me there, knocked on the back door, my dad came out and did not even recognize me, he had to take a double look. Next person I surprised was my sister, when she came home from school I was standing in the garage and scared her. We went and grabbed Starbucks after. Next person was my mom. I sat on our living room couch waiting for her to come home from work, when she did I scared her and she ended up balling like most moms do. The last person I surprised, and one of the main reasons why I came home, was my other grandma who came up from Oklahoma to visit. To say the lease she was very happy I was here.

Being home for two days has been a blast and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the week holds for me! I will update all of you on this adventure next week!
