On Sunday, Winter Instagrammed a snap of herself in a lace white dress excitedly looking forward to her graduation ceremony.
"From Baccalaureate to Graduation tomorrow and then UCLA bound #classof2020," she captioned the pic.
Monday marks just the latest milestone in Winter's life. In March, she talked to Ellen DeGeneres about being emancipated at 17 years old.
"You handle your own business affairs, your own living arrangements; your own money," she explained.

In 2012, Gray was granted temporary custody of her younger sister, following allegations that Winter had "been the victim of ongoing physical abuse (slapping, hitting, pushing) and emotional abuse (vile name calling, personal insults about minor and minor's height, attempts to 'sexualize' minor, deprivation of food, etc.) for an extended period of time" by her mother, Chrisoula 'Crystal' Workman. Winter's mother denies the accusations.
"It's most definitely hard to grow up in the industry, but just grow up in any instance without a mother from a very young age," Winter acknowledged. "It has been very sad for me, but at the same time it's been much better for me emotionally and physically to be on my own and have a better, safer household and support system."
