In an Instagram post celebrating her graduation, she wrote: "As I look back and reflect on my college experience, I can't help but acknowledge how monumental each of these years has been in shaping me into who I am today.
"From navigating the loss of my mother to the whirlwind of unexpected overnight fame, Alabama has been the one constant through it all- continually welcoming me with open arms and keeping me grounded in who I am.
"Though my college journey was far from typical, I've found such beauty and comfort in the abnormalcy of it all, trusting that everything unfolded in alignment with Gods divine timing.
"This has been such a beautiful chapter in the story of my life—one I'll look back on often.
"And while it's bittersweet that it's come to an end a year early, I know that wherever my path leads next, Alabama will always be sweet home to me."
Sydney's wild new life has thrown some amazing opportunities her way, including attending the Grammys and spending her summer at events such as Coachella.

A historic comeback: Speed Classic Cape Town returns after 60 years
Motorsport is coming back to the heart of Cape Town this October as the Speed Classic Cape Town takes place on Philip Kgosana Drive. This two-day invitational event celebrates speed, heritage, and craftsmanship. The event, backed by Motorsport South Africa and the City of Cape Town, marks the revival of competitive hillclimb racing in Cape Town – a tradition that began in 1912, with races held on Camps Bay Drive, Signal Hill Road, and Kloof Road. The last known hillclimb on Camps Bay Drive was in 1962. Co-founder Garth Mackintosh explains, "We're not just creating another motorsport event. We're building a celebration of legacy, innovation, and craftsmanship." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Speed Classic Cape Town (@ The event includes two competitions: Classic Car Saturday (25 October): Highlighting vintage cars and classic engineering. King of the Mountain (26 October): Modern performance cars competing over 2.1km of winding road with a 150-meter climb. Attendees can also expect demonstration runs, local food vendors, hospitality lounges, and a range of activities. Event details: Dates: 25 and 26 October 2025 Location: Philip Kgosana Drive, Gardens Good to know: Applications for drivers close on 15 August, with tickets available for purchase from 1 August. Motorsport's Moment in South Africa The return of the Speed Classic isn't just a nostalgic revival, but part of an accelerated focus on local motorsport events to feature on the international racing calendar. Cape Town has already hosted the inaugural Cape Town E‑Prix in 2023 with a high-speed street circuit weaving through the city's Atlantic Seaboard suburbs of Green Point, Granger Bay, and Mouille Point. Most notably, South Africa is in the midst of a high-stakes bid to bring Formula 1 back home for the first time in over three decades. The Department of Sport, Arts, and Culture has tabled its ambitious proposal for a Cape Town street circuit that would run through the inner city and the V&A Waterfront. Meanwhile, Kyalami, the historic circuit near Johannesburg, has received FIA approval for a Grade 1 upgrade - further clearing the path for an F1 comeback. Critics argue that hosting F1 in South Africa is a costly luxury in a country facing pressing socio-economic challenges, with concerns around funding transparency and public benefit. However, Minister Gayton McKenzie stated South Africa "can't afford to host Formula 1." He drew a parallel to the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which showcased the country's ability to successfully host a major global event and left a lasting economic and reputational legacy. He urged critics to consider the fierce competition among nations to remain on the F1 calendar - proof, he said, of the sport's undeniable value. 'It can't be called a world championship if it overlooks an entire continent - especially sub-Saharan Africa,' McKenzie added.

The petty act Aussie icon committed after catching her partner cheating
Real Housewives of Sydney star Krissy Marsh has revealed the petty act an Aussie icon committed after discovering her husband had been cheating on her. The reality TV star, 53, made the candid revelation during an episode of her Vodka Lectures podcast. She revealed the late Aussie star began dating her partner after he cheated on his wife with her. 'A famous Australian woman, an absolute icon, had met her partner who was quite a few years younger than her and he had cheated on his partner to get with her,' she began. 'She was with him for 10 to 15 years. I didn't know that they had met with him cheating and then she [told me] "he has cheated on me now but why should I be surprised?" From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Krissy revealed instead of changing all their photos inside her home following their breakup, the star decided to cover his face with red dots. 'It was bizarre. [After he cheated] she didn't want to change all the photos in her house so she just stuck red dots over his face,' she said. Krissy has become one of the biggest names in Sydney 's social circles. She recently revealed she started her podcast after a few too many vodka sodas - or 'Skinny B***hes'. 'I've got 11 nieces and nephews and I do give them many a Vodka Lecture after a few Skinny B***hes about what they should do with their life and what path they need to take,' she told Daily Mail Australia 'Everyone always needs improvement. No one's ever perfect. 'Daily I'm trying to create a better version of myself, a better version as a mum, a better version as a wife, and I think it's so important for all of us to do that. 'People know what they need to do within their careers, within their love life, within themselves, but they just need someone to talk through that a lot of the time. 'That's what Vodka Lectures is about for me,' she added. 'It's giving people that little dose of reality to make a better version of themselves.' She also revealed one of her highlights from the recent season of Real Housewives of Sydney was the weekend she took the housewives to her stunning holiday home up in Noosa. 'I loved the jet skiing,' she said, emphasising the comedic value of the vacation activity. 'They all oiled their bodies up and they ended up, you know, slipping off the jet ski. So it was a pretty funny, it was a good experience.'

Megyn Kelly, Ballerina Farm show the reality of feminism
But I don't see valuing both children and a career as clashing with my conservative beliefs. Holding conservative political, economic and social values doesn't mean we have to squeeze into traditionalist molds in all areas of our lives. I thought about this recently when two conservative but very different women - Megyn Kelly and Hannah Neeleman - popped up in the news. At first glance, they seem polar opposites - one is a New York media star and the other is a farmer in Utah. Yet, they share vital similarities, and they're inspiring droves of conservative women. Megyn Kelly and Ballerina Farm's Hannah Neeleman have this in common Hannah Neeleman recently earned a spot as one of Time magazine's top 100 creators. The mother of eight boasts a social media following of 20 million across Instagram and TikTok. Neeleman spends her days raising kids, making meals from scratch and tending to farm animals. She's the poster child for the "trad wife" phenomenon, the internet term for women who embrace traditional roles. But Neeleman told Time she resists the label. "There are parts of it that resonate with me," she said. "Other parts, not so much." Opinion: Khloe Kardashian's beauty obsession sends my daughters the wrong message Label or not, Neeleman has chosen a very traditional life, even amid the contradiction of being a stay-at-home wife and mom while also benefiting from a revenue-generating social media presence. Neeleman's popularity suggests many women covet (or are at least fascinated by) her lifestyle. For her part, Kelly recently gave great advice to young women (and men) in an interview at the Turning Point USA conference. Kelly, who rose to national prominence at Fox News, is now an independent media star who hosts one of the most popular podcasts in the nation. "Be who you are. Don't pretend you're a lefty in order to win any professor's good humor. He's not worth it. Get your 'D' on your paper, because you refuse to argue that capitalism is bad and wear it like a badge of honor," Kelly told conference host Charlie Kirk. "Bring it with you into your job interview and that will make sure you align with an employer who's right for you. Don't say that you support Planned Parenthood the way they want you too, Don't call yourself a feminist, because your teacher will give you pats on the head. Stand up for what you really believe in, and that's how we spread the good word." Kelly's advice - and her uncompromising stand as a conversative woman in the media industry - is a searing rebuke of progressive bullies and liberal values. Opinion: Trump doesn't fear smart women. It's progressives who are really afraid. Conservative women are the true feminists Kelly and Neeleman show a range of what conservative women can be. As a conservative, you can be happy and fulfilled raising your family on a farm or fighting political battles on a podcast. Or, like me, work as a writer while living as a single mom in Texas.

There's true diversity and freedom beneath the conservative umbrella. Perhaps that's why significantly more conservative women than progressive women say they're happy. According to the 2024 American Family Survey, 37% of conservative women, ages 18 to 40, say they are "completely satisfied" with their lives. Only 12% of their liberal peers express the same level of satisfaction. Women like Kelly and Neelemen present inspirational alternatives to progressive forces that insist truly liberated women must support abortion on demand or biological males competing in women's sports. As conservative women, millions of us enjoy true freedom of choice. You can live on a farm and raise eight children. You can become a media star and live in New York. Or you can choose one of a thousand other options. That is true feminism. When will my liberal friends join us? Nicole Russell is an opinion columnist with USA TODAY.
