‘Freshman year in front of my dorm at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas 1998,’ she started in the caption. ‘Isn’t it funny how a simple photograph can bring back so many memories…
‘I remember [mother Kris Jenner] and [cousin Cici Bussey] coming to visit me and I was so homesick because it was my first time living away from home,’ Kourtney continued.
She recalled going to a local market for ‘salads from the salad bar, a fresh sourdough loaf, raw oatmeal raisin cookie dough and a bottle of wine,’ which they would take back to enjoy in their hotel room.
‘My mom and I would cry so hard every time she left me to go back or when I would leave home to go back to college,’ wrote Kourtney. ‘Ohhhhh the mems…’
Kourtney attended SMU for two years before transferring to University of Arizona in Tucson, where she graduated with a major in theatre arts and a minor in Spanish.
Kim Kardashian previously reminisced about visiting her big sister at UA, sharing a throwback photo in 2021 of their party days.
‘College Years Baby!!!’ she wrote at the time. ‘University of Arizona single handedly stopped me from turning into a wild party girl.
‘I remember visiting Kourt on campus and being her designated driver. I hated all of the wild parties so much that I stayed home and never wanted to drink or party EVER…so thank you U of A.
‘I was never a student there but u shaped my life more than you know,’ added Kim.
Kourtney rang in her 45th birthday last month with more throwbacks and tributes from loved ones.
‘Happy birthday to my firstborn babydoll Kourtney,’ wrote Kris, 68.
‘What in the world is happening, time is twirling so fast and I can’t believe you are 45!!!’ she raved.
‘It seems like just the other day you were wearing your 5 year old party hat going to Buckley to be the line leader and I was bringing cupcakes for the class to celebrate,
The ‘momager’ added, ‘Well you have grown into the most beautiful and amazing daughter, wife, mommy, sister, auntie and best friend a girl can have.
‘You are a kick a** business boss and I am so proud of you every day!’ wrote Kris. ‘Thank you for making me a grandma for the first time and for every single moment and memory we share. I love you beyond measure.
Husband Travis Barker also paid tribute, sharing photos of his wife. ‘Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife, soulmate and best friend forever,’ he wrote.
‘I love you, I love our life together,’ added Barker, 48. ‘Thank you for being the most amazing wife a person could ask for. Here’s to many more years of adventures together.’
Kourtney and the Blink-182 drummer welcomed their first child together, son Rocky Thirteen, in November.
She also shares Mason, 14, Penelope, 11, and nine-year-old Reign with ex Scott Disick.
