Todd: "Can I just flick this butt in their yard?"

Last Fieldtrip

The final confrontation between who you were and who you’re destined to become.

World's Loneliest Fieldtrip 

First, most of the people in the class go home, knowing they don't need the fieldtrip. Next, there are 5 people left, including you. Three of them leave because they have to meet someone. And finally, the last one leaves because they have an appointment of some kind. This leaves you completely alone with the instructor. The resulting fieldtrip is so nostalgic that you can't help but use the bathroom of whatever facility the trip takes at, because your lunch is telling you it wants to move on after seeing the amount of progress you're making.

Key sign that one is about to start: Everyone in the class is staring at you when you say you'll go and you're the only person raising your hand. Prepare to be swamped by loneliness and nostalgia.

If you use this term, your trip might not be the record holder for the loneliest fieldtrip, but it might feel like it.
There are various factors that play in like isolation, space and nostalgia. So depending on the conditions, you may or may not be the record holder.
You're on a phone call with a friend:

You: Hello?
Friend: Hello. What is it.
You: I'm alone on the fieldtrip.
Friend: I told you know one would go.
You: This feels like the world's loneliest fieldtrip.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
