'Boy Meets World' Danielle Fishell Graduates; Star Gets Degree at 31 And Gets Engaged
Danielle Fishel graduated from college!
The 31-year-old "Boy Meets World" star announced the news on Wednesday on her blog that she graduated with a degree in psychology from the California State University, Fullerton.
"I am officially a college graduate! I took my last two undergraduate finals today and I am so happy, relieved, and proud," Fishel posted to her Tumblr account.
Fishel, who went back to school at age 27, worried that she was the "old lady in class" while working toward her degree, according to UPI.
"I persevered and sometimes I wasn't the oldest person in class, some of the whisperers became good friends, and I did so well in math, I even became a tutor," Fishel wrote.
The actress has also been Tweeting about her fiancé, Tim Belusko, who she reportedly met while in school.
Fishel blogged about her busy schedule that involved working at the same time as going to school, but encouraged others that are going through the same situation to continue on saying, "You'll be so thankful you did. I know I am."
The actress will likely remain busy as the new series "Girl Meets World" starts casting. Fishel and her co-star Ben Savage were confirmed to join the spinoff show in Nov., according to E! News.
"Big day today! Joining Ben Savage in casting sessions to find our daughter!" Fishel tweeted Dec. 4. "I'm so excited and can't wait to meet the girls."
Fishel and Savage will play the parents of the new show's main character: their 13-year-old daughter Riley.
"Boy Meets World" ran on ABC from 1993-2000 with Savage as Cory Matthews in the original series and Fishel as his love interest, Topanga Lawrence.
Besides Savage and Fishel, it is unknown how many other original cast members from "Boy Meets World" will join the new series.
