It seems like yesterday that TV starlet Katie and action star Tom had a baby. It was 2006, and Tom reprised his role in Mission: Impossible 3, and I had just graduated from high school.
It was the days of Tom jumping up and down on Oprah's couch, and life was simpler.
Now, Tom and Katie are no longer together, Oprah no longer has a couch on TV, and that baby on the way has graduated from high school.
After five years of marriage, Tom and Katie split in 2012.
In a now private TikTok video shared to a classmate's account on May 20, Suri hinted at her future college plans with "commitment day."
The 18-year-old graduate was overwhelmed with joy as she seemingly announced which university she would attend.
The TikTok video was captioned "LaG commitment day." Suri and classmates wore sweatshirts announcing where they planned to go to college, and Miley Cyrus's "I'll Always Remember You" from Hannah Montana played in the background.
While it's not confirmed, Suri interacted with the camera, pointing towards her bright red sweatshirt, which had the words "Carnegie Mellon" printed in white.
If you are a Dawson's Creek or Risky Business fan like me, just know that Joey Potter and Joel Goodsen's baby is their age and will be off to college soon.

Overall, Suri remains out of the spotlight, but in an April 2023 Glamour interview, her mom said she does love working with her daughter when she has the chance.
"I hope she always does something on my films," Katie said, talking about Suri's involvement in her films Alone Together (2022) and Rare Objects (2023). "I always ask her. But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people. And it's this safe, beautiful, creative space." Suri sang vocals in the opening credits of Alone Together and provided vocals for the Rare Objects.
Katie continued, "So it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly. That's how I like to work. I like to have that kind of feeling. It was very meaningful to me to have her there, because she's my heart."
But aside from behind-the-scenes collaborations with Mom, Katie is balancing how much to "protect" Suri from the spotlight.
"What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her," Katie said. "I'm very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She's an incredible person."
Congratulations, Suri!
Even though you're reminding me, time is flying by.
