The former child star has been soaking up the sun in Cabo San Lucas with her family for spring break.
She recently enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and is currently on holiday from her studies.
The What I Like About You star went through a very public meltdown last year that culminated in an involuntary psychiatric hold in August after she was caught trying to start a fire on her parents' driveway.

The on-the-mend starlet was subsequently diagnosed with schizophrenia and admitted to a facility for treatment.
But it seems the the California native is well on her way to recovery.
She has been living with her parents since her December release and is fully immersing herself in the student life.
Student life: The What I Like About You star positively glowed while attending the FIDM Debut 2014 with her parents
Support: The former child star - pictured here with her mother at the FIDM event on March 21 - has been living with her parents since she was released from treatment facility in December
Sketched out: The She's the Man star shared this image of a drawing she did in March
'Hi everyone! I'm busy studying at @FIDM but I want to say I love you to my fans! Xoxo Amanda,' she wrote on March 1.
The social media savvy student has shared multiple images from the school, including a drawing she did last month.
While the blonde beauty is on the road to recovery, she still has a few incidents lingering before she can completely move on.
Meltdown: Amanda had a major breakdown last year. In May she was pictured wearing a blonde wig as she left a court house in New York City
Last summer the then-troubled starlet was charged with marijuana possession and reckless endangerment after throwing a bong from the window of her New York City apartment.
The charges were dismissed not long ago after she agreed to attend twice weekly counseling sessions and to stay out of trouble for six months.
Her lawyer Gerald Sharger said: 'This is an important step in her rehabilitation. I am optimistic about her future and pleased with the result.'

Her mom is from an era where mental illness has such a negative stigma. It still does, but it's my humble opinion that she's in denial and could be embarrassed that her DD needs mental help. I fear for Amanda now.
Amanda Bynes Mom Takes Her Off Meds Despite Evidence of Mental Illness
4/10/2014 1:05 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
EXCLUSIVE
Amanda Bynes' mother just came out publicly and said her daughter does NOT suffer from Schizophrenia or bipolar disorder -- she says the only problem Amanda had was weed -- but multiple sources tell TMZ ... that's just NOT true.
Amanda's mom says all her her daughter's problems emanated from marijuana, and she is now weed-free, so Amanda is off ALL medications. Lynn Bynes says, "She has no mental illness whatsoever."
We made the rounds again Wednesday ... and everyone we spoke with stands firm -- Amanda does suffer from Schizophrenia and Bipolarity. Beyond our sources, there's documented proof of mental illness.
-- Amanda was placed on an LPS Hold last year after a judge heard evidence in the psychiatric hospital where she was being held. According to California law, someone can be placed on an LPS Hold only when the person remains "gravely disabled as the result of a mental disorder or impairment by chronic alcoholism." As we reported, doctors presented evidence of grave mental illness.
-- Amanda's mom won a temporary conservatorship after a court-appointed investigator determined Amanda was severely mentally ill. The judge granted the conservatorship order not too long after Amanda soaked her dog in gasoline and almost lit it on fire.
-- Amanda's lawyers in both California and New York won delays in her criminal cases based on mental illness.
-- Sources directly connected to Amanda and her treatment tell TMZ Amanda was given a complex Rx cocktail in a Ventura County psych hospital specifically for Schizophrenia.
-- Amanda spent weeks at the UCLA psych ward and at times was so incoherent she had to be restrained. Amanda left after she became freaked out by other patients.
-- Sources tell us, during Amanda's stay at a Ventura County psych hospital, she would tell doctors about the "Bad Amanda" and mimicked an exorcism and began biting herself.
-- Tamar Arminak, the celebrity lawyer who reps Amanda's mom, tells TMZ, "Amanda is now on zero medication." Her mother believes all the talk about Schizophrenia is false and that's why she took her off the meds. The mom says she's had no psychotic episodes in the last few months.
Sources connected to Amanda tell us they are alarmed and fearful.

Oh, that's terrible. It's possible that drugs caused the mental illnesses but once it's there I don't think it can go away.. Just managed with proper medication.. Which is basically artificially putting those neurotransmitter a in the brain that for whatever reason aren't there or aren't enough of.
I don't know what TMZ is trying to proove. Who knows why her mother made that statement. Maybe she did not want to disclose something that is not anyone's business in the first place.
She could've just had a mental breakdown? Who knows what the deal is, as long as she's being closely monitored.
Yes, I agree. At least she is with family to watch her closely. I never heard of pot causing someone to act the way she did but you never know. Maybe it was just the way she reacted to it if it was really strong? I used to watch her show with my daughter years ago when she was little and always used to think to myself that she was so talented and funny. I wish her well.
