I have wanted to move to NC for years! And it's still the place I am targeting. I'm the weirdo who loves high heat and can tolerate humidity

Even if that's the reason, why should we suffer?!

Thanks! Lesson learned 🫠

Your son sounds like the kind of student I would love to work with! I hope he's having a fulfilling experience at UNC!

Like, how could anybody see this is a good thing for their college student?

I hate to see Knicks fans happy

My mom on Lebron's outfit tonight: "He looks like that man who walks into the hairdresser salon selling something" 😂

It's so horrible! What are we even doing when folks are vying for those kinds of numbers?

I love how that MJ interview gave us absolutely nothing 😂
