Ariel Winter will start university in September

And now she has accepted her place for this year and taken to Instagram to share her joy.

She wrote: "It's lit my friends. #bruinpride (sic)."

The university's account responded by saying: "'It's lit indeed. So excited to have you here in the fall! #UCLAbound (sic)."

Last April, Ariel proudly shared a photograph of her acceptance letter from the prestigious academic institution.

At the time, she wrote on social media: "It's an AMAZING DAY! I'm going to UCLA- thank you to everyone who has been there for me on this journey! #bruinsbaby (sic)"

However, she later revealed that she would be postponing her studies, explaining: "Unfortunately this year, due to production schedule, I have to start next year.

"So I will be starting as a [UCLA] Bruin next year."

Meanwhile, Ariel recently admitted it was "a really long journey" to be able to find her self-confidence, and says she's now hoping to use her platform as a star to help empower other people in her position and give them someone to "look up to".

She said: "Well, I struggled for many years with my own confidence with myself. It was a really long journey to find that confidence, and I think it's really important because there are tons of young girls, young boys, people that are older than me, that don't really have a lot of people to look up to that are outspoken about things like that."

"And I thought, you know, I went through so much at a young age, I was slammed for everything - the way I looked, the way I dressed, what I said. And I thought for a while that if I changed the way I was that people would accept me. I tried, and they still didn't.

"So that's what I try and tell people is, 'Do what makes you happy,' and that is ultimately going to be the best thing for you. I just feel like regardless of the negative comments I'll get for speaking out, it matters so much more to me the positive feedback that I get, that I'll take those negative comments and it doesn't matter. I'm just happy to help."
