Shakira reveals she completed online course in ancient philosophy during lockdown: ‘It took a lot of hours after the kids were asleep’

Shakira has been continuing her education under lockdown.

The songstress, 43, revealed she completed an online course in Ancient Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania.

Shakira proudly showed off her course certificate as she announced the accomplishment on her Twitter account on Thursday.

I just graduated from my 4 week Ancient Philosophy course with the University of Pennsylvania (@Penn). I know… my hobbies are very impractical, but it took a lot of hours after the kids were asleep.

Thank you Plato and predecessors for all the “fun” over the past month!’ she tweeted.

She also shared a snap of herself holding her laptop while giving a proud thumb’s up.

Fans were delighted to learn Shakira had been continuing her studies in quarantine.

‘We stan an intellectual queen,’ commented @witness_fran.

‘Imagine the teacher goes “ok I’m going to randomly pair everyone off for this assignment” and you get Shakira,’ @RaysGoat tweeted.

‘thank you for making education an importance during these hard times (red heart emoji) i love what you’re doing and the message you’re spreading. love you shak!!’ tweeted @dojasruIes.

It was just two months ago Shakira was headlining the Super Bowl halftime show with Jennifer Lopez back in February.

Life for Shakira, and for the rest of the world, has changed dramatically since then.

In addition to completing her online studies, she has been raising her two children with her partner Gerard Piqué, sons Sasha, five, and Milan, seven.
