After 25 long years of living under the rule of Mom’s regime, with a brief (glorious) stint in an apartment with walls thinner than my patience, I have officially been crowned king of my own castle. And not only that, but this castle is the house I grew up in, my childhood home. It’s my very own full-circle moment. … This house is where I grew up eating Eggo waffles before school, watching Britney Spears on Good Morning America, brushing my Justin Bieber hair for hours, and walking around with my phone incessantly filming all my family members like a documentarian. And now it’s mine.

From the band’s halftime tunes to the cheerleaders and drill teams, it is about more than the score. It’s about community spirit.

I just took out bumpers. Plural.) … My first car was a blue Nissan Rogue named Blue Ivy. I was 17 and maybe a bit dramatic, but Blue Ivy was so much more than just a car to me. She meant freedom. Power.
