With the end of summer comes a few things: the weather changing, pumpkin-spiced latte season (yasssss), and, of course, kids heading off to college for the first time.
When it comes to celeb kids, though, we feel old AF about this fact since we practically watched them grow up.
Get ready for these celebs who just sent their kids off to college!
Lisa Rinna
The youngest daughter of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star just flew the coop!
“And just like that they take flight. #CollegeBound,” she captioned this shot of her daughter settling into her New York City apartment.
Kelly Ripa
“The nest is getting roomy,” the talk show host captioned this emotional post of her saying goodbye to her 18-year-old daughter, Lola.
This past weekend, both Kelly and husband Mark Consuelos helped Lola move her stuff to New York, where she’ll be studying at New York University.
There’s been a lot of emotional moments this summer that led up to saying goodbye.
This included her looking so grown-up and stunning at the prom and then her graduation that brought out the whole fam.
Jerry Seinfeld
Just months ago, the world was laughing at Jerry’s butt photobombing Sascha’s prom pictures. And now — just like that — she’s off to college!
Duke college to be exact, and it’s gotten the family (and the rest of us) emotional.
This pic is giving us alllll the feels.
“And just like that, they leave the nest. (For now),” Mom captioned the post, along with a heart and crying emoji.
Mady Gosselin
Kate Gosselin sent not one, but two daughters off to college this year!
That’s because Cady and Mady, stars of Jon and Kate Plus 8 and Kate Plus Date are twins!
Despite this, they decided to go off to separate colleges.
The whole situation has been understandably hard on mom.
“It is the biggest mixed bag of emotions and stress I have ever faced,” Kate told People .
“Mady and Cara really steered the ship in terms of applying to colleges; they knew what they wanted, and I trusted them.”
“That same feeling is going to have to carry me through my fears now when I think about them going off on their own, fending for themselves, being alone for the first time.”
Busta Rhymes
Aw! Busta Rhymes looks like the proudest father in this adorable pic of him kissing his son Trillian on the forehead goodbye.
“Another young King of mine, off to begin the next chapter,” he captioned the post.
This isn’t Busta’s first rodeo with sending kids off to college.
Trillian actually marks the fourth kid of Busta’s to head off to higher education.
He’ll be attending Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.

The actress is feeling all sorts of emotional over sending her eldest son Maddox to college — and there’s a video to prove it.
