One-day-only delicious BBQ this Wednesday at Cockrell Dining Hall from 11am-1pm! You don’t see too many planes with messages these days — then it MUST be good. 😏🍗🔥
Video Description: Nora stands outside, showing off a Chicken Caesar wrap, with on-screen text reading, “Just trying to record some content, but this plane has other plans.” She suddenly stands up, looking shocked, grabs the camera, and points it toward the sky as a paper airplane flies across the screen. The airplane reads, “BBQ Fun. Wednesday @ Cockrell.”
