"Modern Family" news and updates: Ariel Winter is preparing for college.

Modern Family, an American television mockumentary that premieres on ABC since September 2009, is a story of Jay Pritchett and his family, all of whom live in suburban Los Angeles. Pritchett's family includes his second wife, his stepson, and infant son, as well as his two adult children and their spouses and children. And now, Ariel Winter is preparing for college.

 Modern Family fans were watching the young star grow up right in front of our eyes, and now we're here, preparing to send our little girl off to a university all on her own. The 18-year-old is about to prepare for a huge new chapter in her life.

And yesterday, Winter revealed to fans which university she decided to attend.

"It's an AMAZING DAY! I'm going to UCLA," she wrote on Instagram with a photo of her online admissions page from the school's website. "Thank you to everyone who has been there for me on this journey! #bruinsbaby"

The E! News reports, In addition to her on-screen roles, she's assumed an official role behind the scenes as a champion for body positivity, most recently slamming Instagram shamers who said she was "asking for it" in a photo she posted of herself in a bikini alongside her nieces.

"Who knew that an innocent photo with my nieces would turn into this? The height of a girl's skirt or whatever she is wearing for that matter, does not imply what she is asking for," she wrote. "You are not asking for anything because of what you are wearing- you are expressing yourself and don't you ever think you deserve the negativity as the consequence to what you are wearing- YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. Celebrate you and don't let anyone's comments allow you to think less of yourself. Us girls have to stick together!!!!!!"

We wish you all the best Ariel Winter for a new chapter in 'Modern Family.'
