Miranda Cosgrove is the queen of Nickelodeon with her popular show iCarly right now, and the show still has no end in sight! The 17-year-old recently reflected on the journey she’s taken with the show.

“I’ve thought about it before because we started the show when we’re 13, 14 years old and now we’re 17,” says Miranda. “But this season the writers really made the characters more mature. We’re having romances and doing things we would never have done in the first season. It’s cool because we’ve grown up on the show and our characters have, too.”

Still, Miranda has said she is planning to go to college, either at USC or NYU.
