"I am so overcome with joy to share that I have officially graduated from NYU!!  I first enrolled in undergrad in ’99, then took a leave of absence to start working as an actor, so this has been 21 years in the making!" she wrote. 

The 'Pete's Dragon' actress added that she is glad she can finally tick off "graduate" on her bucket list. 

"It’s been a long dream of mine to complete my formal education and though all of us NYU grads couldn’t wear glorious purple robes together today, I want to say thank you to everyone who supported and encouraged all of us graduates every step of the way. To the class of 2020, WE MADE IT." 

Bryce also wrote a special letter to the class of 2020

"Push yourself to break through the surface of whatever challenges lie before you, and as you face those obstacles, continue to move through them with the immense grace you have already shown. You are well on your way to mastery. You are well on your way to making it."
