The 32-year-old actress said that she missed out on having a normal childhood after leaving her family home in Montana at 15 and heading to Los Angeles to find fame.
She landed her big break in TV show 'Dawson's Creek' a year later, but it's only now that she wishes she had been more studious, reported Contactmusic.
"I didn't really go to school, I didn't go to college, my high school diploma is like, a little bit questionable," she said.
"I got an actual diploma but it was from the back of a magazine. My daughter has actually said that she would like me to go to college with her... And I am sure she won't change her mind! It is a very lovely idea... I have been struggling with some of her grammar homework recently," she added.
