Rob Kardashian, one of the stars of the celebrity family’s reality TV show, is now headed to law school.
Rob, Kim Kardashian’s younger brother is set to start attending classes this autumn.
The future law student took to Twitter on Monday to express his excitement: “Going to Law School very soon and so excited and can’t wait! School just never ends for me. #UniversityofSouthernCal.”
The tweet led to a minor confusion when the official Twitter page of the said university, Rob’s alma mater, said that the TV star has not applied to USC Law. As of the moment, it is unsure whether Rob’s tweet meant that he will be going to University of Southern California or that he was merely giving recognition to his former university.
If Rob pushes through with his law school plans, he will be following his late father’s footsteps. Robert Kardashian was a lawyer who became famous for defending O.J. Simpson in his murder trial in 1995. Simpson was acquitted from the charges filed against him, which led to a major legal controversy. Kardashian died in 2003 at age 59 after battling with cancer.
Rob Kardashian will probably be bumping into Miranda Cosgrove of the show iCarly. Cosgrove has also enrolled at the university and will start classes this autumn as well.
