Social media just got a little bit better after inspiring activist and Nobel Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai, announced she will now be active on Twitter.
On Friday morning the 19-year-old sent her first seven tweets from her very own verified personal Twitter account to celebrate her high school graduation.

Though Yousafzai's personal account appears to be created in November 2012, she had yet to send a tweet. Instead, relevant news and updates were communicated through the Malala Fund Twitter account, Yousafzai's organization that works to advocate for girls' quality education.
