It's been 31 years, but one woman's life has come full circle.

Jillian Sobol recently graduated from San Francisco State University.

That in and of itself isn't anything that tens of thousands haven't done themselves, but Sobol's story at the campus started three decades ago, when she was born.

Sobol was abandoned shortly after birth in a campus laundry room, ABC News reported.

It was Nov. 5, 1984. Luckily, two students were doing their laundry and found the baby.

One was a nursing student who just happened to have taken classes handling newborns shortly before the discovery, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Eventually, Sobol's birth mother was found. And because she was left where people could find her, the mother did not face charges.

Sobol was adopted on June 4, 1985 by Helene and Sam Sobol who named the baby who had been called Baby Jane Doe, Jillian, ABC News reported.

In 2007, Jillian found and met her biological father. She has also found her biological mother, but has not met her.

May 27, Jillian's goal of graduating from college was reached where her life began. She graduated from San Francisco State University with a bachelor of science in hospitality and tourism management. She hopes to have a career in event planning.
