Is there anything Yara Shahidi can’t do??
Wednesday on Instagram, the “grown-ish” star, who is currently an undergraduate student at Harvard, proudly revealed that she just finished writing her thesis!

After Yara’s clip went viral, several of her famous friends wrote congratulatory messages in the comments section.
“I am so very proud of you!!!!” said Yvette Nicole Brown.
“You did it!!!” commented Jennifer Garner.
“congratulations!!” added Tika Sumpter.
Though Yara was admitted to the Cambridge, Massachusetts, university in 2017, she took a gap year before starting her college experience.
While attending classes, Yara has also been starring in the Freeform sitcom “grown-ish,” a spin-off of the ABC series “black-ish,” in which she plays college student Zoey Johnson.
At the Emmy Awards earlier this year, Yara told “Entertainment Tonight” that she had to leave the ceremony early in order to get back in time for her classes.
“I do fly out tonight to make it to class in time,” she told the entertainment news show. “The lovely people at the Academy really helped me out because I was like, ‘Guys, I have a hard out to make this flight.’”
Congratulations on your huge accomplishment, Yara!
