Ring girl Sydney Thomas has finally graduated from the University of Alabama. Sydney, who attained her stardom following the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson bout, was done with her studies this week, a process that took only three years.
A series of photos displays Thomas in a white dress around the Tuscaloosa campus, including one with six of her buddies.
'Did it in 3 @univofalabama,' said Thomas on Instagram. '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.'
The viral ring girl who initially seized the internet's attention during the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson bout just tossed her cap with six of her spectacular best friends beside her, and the University of Alabama may never be the same. This wasn't just another average graduation celebration, though, a full-blown occasion.
'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 God's divine timing,' she posted on her social media account.
It was not just the only outfit she wore; rather, she was also captured in a bold red dress sipping Champagne on a set of stairs at the Tuscaloosa campus.
'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 my sweet home. Roll Tide, forever & always xo,' Sydney posted on Instagram.
