The 25-year-old spoke with E! News prior to graduating from Delaware State University, admitting the last six years of school has been overwhelming.

"It's been a long and emotional journey, especially without any support from my parents," she said. "But I'm so happy and relieved!"

​

Her graduation ceremony is on May 13 and Lowry plans to celebrate with her closest friends over a special dinner this weekend.

Lowry's next move will be to attend Grad school. She hopes to extend her education by getting her master's after she graduates.

The MTV star took to her blog to express her mixture of emotions as she approaches graduation.

"If you follow any amount of the show, you know I've been struggling to get through school and earn my bachelor's over the last 6 years...Yes, 6 years," she wrote. "Between teen motherhood, financial hurdles in the beginning, then moving to a new state, marriage, babies and divorce... and then of course just wanting to give up, I (barely) held on and I'm FINALLY graduating May 13!"

She continued, "This has been an extremely long and emotional road for me and for my family."

​

Last week, Lowry confirmed the news that Chris Lopez is the father of her third baby.

"She really has nothing to do with Chris, the father," an insider told E! News. "She plans on raising the baby on her own."
