Keep reading for more details.
Honey Boo Boo Celebrates Major College Milestone
When Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson shared that she had gotten into Regis University, she was over the moon. She received a scholarship and was ready for the next chapter, but a lot was going on behind the scenes. Her sister, Anna Cardwell, was very ill while her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, was in legal trouble, so she had no idea if he would be able to move with her. Plus, her family struggled with the idea that she would be so far away from Georgia, given that the university was in Colorado. Ultimately, she chose to go and has not looked back.
There have been some issues, like Mama June owing Alana thousands, and Anna passing away. However, Alana kept persevering and now, she has made the Dean’s List for Spring 2025. This is a huge accomplishment for anyone, but especially Alana after all she went through. She had to deal with childhood fame, then her mother’s addiction, and living with her sister and brother-in-law. There was even a point when Alana did not want to think about college, but Pumpkin Efird encouraged her to think ahead. That had more than paid off, as Alana is excelling.
Mama June reposted Alana Thompson’s congratulatory letter from her school, praising all of her achievements. It is hard not to be proud when she questioned if she could do it. Yet, Alana stated that she would keep going in honor of her late sister and has not looked back. Some fans feel that she needs to ignore her boyfriend’s legal drama and focus solely on her studies. It looks like she has done just that and had tunnel vision for her goals and what she wants for her life.
Fans Go Wild For Alana
