Currently focusing on her academics at New York University?s Tisch School of the Arts, her journey is dotted with A’s just like her golds on the mats. Recently, the studious gymnast was in attendance at the Arthur Ashe Stadium when two hilarious pictures were captured. Hernandez took it to her Instagram upon coming across the images and captioned her pictures, “when that existential crisis hits mid us open-“

To be fair, who at the stadium filled with treasures gets spared? It is a gold mine of hysterical debunkings. While Hernandez did a quite fine job herself keeping the fire alive. A core memory of hers still lives from the season 23 of Dancing with the Stars partnered with Val Chmerkovskiy as the youngest victor in the competition’s history.

Hernandez is studying drama and has been deliberating on minoring in creative writing after being homeschooled her entire life. With her dreams of becoming an actress in the future, she loves being herself and not a gymnast in school. Not long ago around her 16th birthday, she stunned everyone by emerging as a supernova at the Olympics.

She edged Biles to win the individual silver medal on the balancing beam. The US gymnastics team of five also bagged a gold that year. The former elite gymnast appears to have found her fans before an official release while training for her future goal. However, after her pictures were clicked by the paparazzi and then shared by Hernandez herself on Instagram, her fans commented all over it with that peculiar caption.
