“It’s surreal to have finally hit this major milestone … I’ve known I wanted to go to college since I was four,” she told Vogue. “By 17, I knew exactly what I wanted to study, so to see that come to fruition is a goal fulfilled.”

A plethora of Yara’s celebrity acquaintances sent their congrats on social media including Gigi Hadid, Snoh Aalegra, Tyler, the Creator, and fellow actress, Viola Davis. However, her biggest supporters didn’t hesitate to let the world know how proud they are of their daughter: Yara’s parents, Keri and Afshin Shahidi.

“Beautifully surreal moment seeing our delicate petal in full bloom,” her father captioned his post on Instagram.

Her mother, Keri, shared another photo of Yara and wrote with graduate emojis: “WHAT’S DONE IS DONE. @harvardcollege class of ‘22!!”

Ahead of graduation day, Yara had a bit of practice with the grown-ish character she plays, Zoey Johnson, who also graduated from college in the series’ March season finale. She posted a behind-the-scenes look at her fictional diploma in an Instagram video saying, “So, four years flew by.”
