Real Housewives fans have been able to follow along with Riley Burruss and watch her grow from an adorable little girl into the confident young woman that she is now. After graduating from high school in 2020, Riley shared with her army of followers that she'd be heading to New York University in the fall. "So blessed to have received an amazing education, and special thanks to my amazing mom who is the reason I will be going to my dream school," she wrote in the caption. At the beginning of the pandemic, she posted a joyful pic of herself donning an NYU hoodie, writing, "thinking of the city I will spend the next four years for college in... thank you to all the first responders and essential workers for saving lives" (via Instagram). 

After her first year of college, she reflected on the experience in an interview with Bravo. "I'm still learning, it's a lot of pressure as well, but I'm getting a lot of help," she said. "I just talk to my mom when I'm stressed. But I'm still learning how to proceed." It seems Kandi and her firstborn are still as close as ever! Riley also discussed how she's turned her attention toward her Youtube channel, which has garnered a whopping 53.9K subscribers.
