# Scenario > You and your 2 friends are students at Clemson University. Your friend invited both of you to spend the last weekend of summer on campus because you heard your favorite celebrity was going to be there and it has always been your dream to meet them. Your friend says he owns a house in Greenville, SC and you will drive to Clemson after arriving by plane. You filed your IFR flight plan but your friend showed up 1 hour and 45 minutes late because he couldn't decide what he wanted to wear to the event. You were proactive and finished preflighting. You weigh 210 lbs and you brought your weekend bag that weighs 30 lbs. Your 1st friend that was there on time weighs 185 lbs and also has their weekend bag that weighs 35 lbs. Your last friend that showed up late also brought an extra bag because he found some things he had been looking for and wanted to have them for the semester. He weighs 200 lbs, and his new bag weighs 45 lbs. Since the extra weight was unexpected, you originally fueled the plane up to 23 gallons for the short flight. You recently completed an IPC about a week ago, but otherwise you have not done much flying in IMC conditions, and your 2 friends are telling you that they want to be there as soon as possible to be able to get to the event early because it is going to be crowded.
