Congratulations are in order for Cassie Randolph!

The Bachelor Nation star took to Instagram this week to let fans know that she finished grad school and obtained her master’s in speech-language pathology from University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire.

“It’s official!!! Yesterday I became Cassandra Randolph M.S., SLP (now to earn my CCC’s)! It’s hard to believe grad school is over!” Cassie wrote alongside a series of photos that see her celebrating her accomplishment with family on the beaches of Southern California.

“I have definitely shed some sentimental tears thinking about this chapter of my life officially coming to a close. It’s been a long road full of late nights, early mornings, homework on the go (in cars, planes, overseas), 400+ clock hours and 6 different internships, many stress tears, intense study sessions, exams, lots of procrastination, and moments where I questioned why I was sticking with this in the first place,” she continued.

“But, I can say, now being at the end of it, I am so happy that I did. Not only is it such an amazing feeling of accomplishment, but I love my profession. I can confidently say that speech-language pathology is the type of career that will bring so much fulfillment and joy to the rest of my life.”

Cassie went on to thank her “amazing professors” and loved ones for their support throughout her journey in higher education. “I’m also so lucky to have had the best family and friend support system, constantly having to deal with my stress and even volunteering to role play as my pretend clients when needed,” she wrote.

She concluded, “Love you all. I’m feeling a bit sentimental right now if you can’t tell. Anywho, I’M A GRAD SCHOOL GRAD! Class of 2021, WE DID IT!”

Notable franchise alums flooded Cassie’s comments section with laudatory messages. “So awesome!! Congrats lil lady,” Kaitlyn Bristowe enthused, while Sydney Lotuaco remarked, “Congratulations!!!”

Elyse Dehlbom noted, “So proud of you!!! You stuck to it during such a whirlwind time and you DID IT!!!”

Added Heather Martin, “Congrats Cassie!! so exciting!!!”
