Teresa's second youngest daughter, who practically grew up in front of viewers of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is finally trading in the Garden State for the Sunshine State. And while she might have some conflicting feelings about her big move to attend the University of Tampa (more on that later), Teresa could not be any excited for her daughter.
Teresa took to her Instagram Story on Thursday, Aug. 22, where she revealed that they were in the process of moving Milania to college. The mom of four captured a photo of the University of Tampa sign, where she tagged Milania and added a pink heart emoji.
It's all happening. And Milania's oldest sister Gia Giudice, who graduated from Rutgers University in 2023, provided her sister with some major assistance in the move-out process.
Gia Giudice helped Milania Giudice pack up for college
Gia took to her TikTok account where she posted a four minute video documenting Milania packing up for college. "Milania is leaving for Tampa in the morning and we are finalizing everything and packing all of her last-minute things right now," Gia said in the video starring Milania.
The sisters first went through Milania's closet, where they packed up all of the clothes she would need for college. This included dresses and plenty of bathing suits for soaking up the Florida sun. After goofing off a bit, things got serious when Milania realized she would be moving away from her beloved dog, Bella, and her sisters.
"Thanks to Gia, because without her I wouldn't have been all packed," Milania explained in the video about her emotional state.
Gia even captured her heart-wrenching goodbye to Milania, as they hugged outside of the airport while they both cried. Her caption of the TikTok is just as sweet and sad. "I can't wait to watch you do amazing things and thrive at the University of Tampa!" Gia wrote in the caption of the post. "See you soon."
"Sobbing in the airport," Milania wrote in the comments.
Milania Giudice documents leaving for the University of Tampa
Milania took to her own TikTok account, where she posted three separate videos documenting her own packing-up process. Mainly, she was documenting her last-minute cuddle sessions with Bella. In the first video, Milania captured Bella sitting on top of an open suitcase, filled with University of Tampa t-shirts. In the next video, Milania is on her bed while cuddling Bella and kissing her head. "Last morning cuddles for a while," Milania wrote in the caption of the post.
In the last video, Milania, with a sad expression on her face, captured Gia walking into her bedroom as Bella lay in her bed with her. "K sooooooo bye?" Milania wrote in the caption of the video, set to Billie Eilish's "Birds of a Feather."
What is Milania Giudice studying at the University of Tampa?
Milania committed to the school earlier this year, after wanting to be a short flight away from her dad, who lives in the Bahamas. But, she's just a little unsure about what she wants to study at UT and what she wants to do for the rest of her life.
During a visit to Bravo headquarters on July 2, Teresa revealed that Milania had not yet decided on her college major. But, she did come to a realization about what she wanted to do for a living.
"We were in Paris, and [Milania] was like, 'Mommy, I know you're famous, but I want to be so famous that I can't even sit here in this café right now,'" Teresa recalled about the exchange. "That's how famous I want to be."
