Back in 2007, Shakira wanted to stimulate her mind instead of her hips. So, she took a summer class at UCLA on history. Amazingly, no one even knew about it until afterwards!

Most celebs try to get away to distant, remote places when they need a break. But, Shakira is known to really enjoy studying. She told The Guardian, “The universe is so broad, I cannot be at the center of it. So I decided to go to the university and study history for a summer course, just to kind of switch gears, taste the student life.”

Her alias was Isabel (which is really one of her middle names), and she was visiting from Columbia. Even the professor had no idea! She said in an interview, “I used to wear a cap and a big backpack, I looked like a boy. I didn’t get recognized.”
