For the Class of 2020, graduation looks a little different this year.

Those completing their degrees are celebrating their incredible achievements at home, over Zoom and Facebook, in rainbow graduation ceremonies, and with John Krasinski and friends.

And that includes Nobel laureate and education activist Malala Yousafzai, who has just finished her degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) at Oxford University.

To celebrate, Malala's family participated in an age-old Oxford tradition called "trashing" where students cover each other in flour and confetti after finishing their final exams.

Hard to express my joy and gratitude right now as I completed my Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree at Oxford. I don’t know what’s ahead. For now, it will be Netflix, reading and sleep. 😴 pic.twitter.com/AUxN55cUAf — Malala () June 19, 2020

At age 15, the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize winner was shot by the Taliban for advocating girls' right to an education. Now at 22, she graduates after studying at Oxford's Lady Margaret Hall college, after gaining a place in 2017.

Malala posted another photo of herself celebrating with her family and an enormous cake. Like many graduates, Malala said she plans to use her free time on "Netflix, reading, and sleep." Good decision.

Congratulations, Malala!
