Mia Talerico, who starred as the titular toddler in the Disney Channel show Good Luck Charlie in the early 2010s, celebrated her first day of her senior year of high school—and yes, we feel old.
Good luck not feeling old when you see Mia Talerico on her last first day of high school.
The Good Luck Charlie alum headed off to her first day of senior year and reflected on how time has quickly flown by.
In pictures shared to Instagram Aug. 19, Talerico sported a pink, shoulder-free top and jean shorts as she posed with a sign that marked the momentous occasion.
“Last First Day!” the 17-year-old wrote in the caption. “Now I'm starting to feel old.”
And it’s not just the Disney Channel star who is shocked by how far she has come. Indeed, Talerico’s annual tradition of celebrating her first day of school has stunned fans who watched her on TV as a toddler.
"That’s so crazyyy we literally all [watched] her grow up," one fan commented on last year’s post. Another added, "This is really the same charlie i grew up watching. im 22 now."
Of course, Talerico—who starred in Good Luck Charlie as the titular role of Charlie Duncan from 2010 to 2014 alongside Bridgit Mendler and Bradley Steven Perry—is aware of how odd it is that she has aged in front of everyone’s eyes.
"It’s so weird," she said during a Destination D23 event last August. "So many people know who I am, but I don’t know them. I think that’s a really surreal feeling."
"People still come up to me and ask me about it," the teen added. "I think sometimes it’s a little funny because obviously I was so little, so I look so different, but it’s awesome to see that people still love it.”
And Talerico is grateful for fans’ memories, because she confessed she doesn’t have too many of her own.
"Obviously, I was so young that I barely remember a lot of it," she admitted. "But I’ve heard so many stories and watching it back is truly like a family scrapbook."
