A woman has shocked TikTok viewers after revealing that she is commuting by plane to her internship in the New York City area each week, as the weekly transportation costs less than living in the city.
Sophia, who goes by the username @sophiacelentano84 on TikTok, shared an insight into her weekly commute in a video posted to the platform this week. In the clip, Sophia filmed herself getting ready at 3am for her early flight from Virginia to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.
“You might be wondering: ‘Sophia, if you’re working 9 to 5, why the hell are you up at 3am?’ That’s a great question. I am actually going to be commuting to my job one day a week this summer. I’m going to be a corporate marketing intern for an advertising agency,” the TikToker said as she filmed herself applying makeup. “The office I’m working for is in the New York-New Jersey area.
“Because I only have to be in the office one day a week, honestly it’s cheaper for me to stay at home in Charleston, South Carolina, for the summer with my parents and just pay for plane tickets one day a week than to live in New York full-time.”
In the video, Sophia then explained that, for her first day of work, she was commuting to Newark Airport from her boyfriend’s home in Richmond, Virginia.
As for her schedule for the day, Sophia revealed that she would be taking an Uber to the airport at 4am, then a flight from Richmond to Newark at 6am that arrived at 7.30am, followed by an Uber and a full day of orientation from 9am to 5pm. She then planned to Uber back to Newark Airport, at which point she would take a flight to her home in Charleston.
Although she explained that she was taking an early flight for her first day, she said that she would usually be taking a flight that arrived in Newark Airport at 8am each Wednesday.
“I’m glad I’ve got a little extra time today to Uber there, figure out where the building is… you know,” Sophia said, while admitting that she was “really nervous” about her first day, as she wanted to make a good first impression.
In the video, Sophia then filmed herself getting dressed for her first day of the internship, before taking viewers along as she took an Uber to the airport and boarded her flight to the New Jersey airport.
