I don't have a family, but I still have dreams worth pursuing

Summary

For Thanksgiving week, my parents shelled out a fortune for a brand-new RV to take the family on a road trip through the national parks.

My mom pinged the family group chat: **"Departure time is imminent! Princesses, get ready! 👑"**

I replied with a thumbs-up emoji, just like my older sister Ashley and my younger sister Brooke. Then I finished my last DoorDash delivery and rode my electric scooter back to campus to wait by the main gate.

The first stop was Brooke’s dorm. She posted a boomerang on her Instagram story, holding up a slice of watermelon and flashing a peace sign.
