Throwback! Jenna Bush Hager, 37, took to Instagram on Thursday to post a photo of herself and her college friends posing with Bob Barker on the set of The Price is Right
College besties: The images were taken some time in the early 2000s, as the former first daughter graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004
Jenna graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004, but it's unclear if the trip took place in the months before or after her father, former President George W. Bush, took office in 2001.
However, the former first daughter looks just like any other college kid in her white tee and flared jeans. Her highlighted blonde hair is pulled half up, and a few tendrils frame her face.
She and her friends have bright smiles on their faces as they pose with their arms wrapped around each other with The Price is Right host standing in the center.
A few of Jenna's friends were surprised by the photo, with comedian Chelsea Handler commenting: 'I thought that was Joe Biden.'
Plenty of other commenters agreed and said, 'Me too!'

Trip: Jenna and her friends traveled to Los Angeles to try and get on the show. She said they purposely wore their college T-shirts, asking: 'Remember how you were supposed to do that?'
Jenna's colleague and close friend Savannah Guthrie wrote, 'Cuteness overload,' while Odd Mom Out star Jill Kargman responded with 'tears of joy' emoji.
The soon-to-be mother-of-three opened up about the trip on the fourth hour of the Today on Friday, just one day before National Best Friend Day.
Jenna and her co-host Willie Geist were talking about their best friends when she shared the photo of her and her pals with the game show icon.
'Bob Barker! I didn't know that was coming,' Willie joked.
'My best friend Mia, she's the little one next to me, she sent me these pictures from when we went out to LA and tried to go on The Price is Right,' Jenna explained.
Willie told her it was a 'great picture,' he just wasn't expecting to see it pop up on the screen.

While attending the CFDA Awards, she opened up about getting ready to welcome her first son with her husband Henry Hager.
Jenna, who is about seven months pregnant, told People that one of her daughters is so excited that she keeps outwardly telling strangers that she is going to have a baby brother.
'She likes to rub my stomach and tell everybody that "I’m having a baby brother,"' Jenna said. 'She likes to tell strangers on the subway and anybody that will listen.'
The morning after the event, she revealed on the Today show that her voluminous dress had gotten some mixed reviews.
'There's been a little bit of a debate about it,' she said. 'Some people were saying they didn't like my dress. Our executive producer, Joanne [LaMarca], said she didn't like it. She said, "Looks like you had a biiiig night."'
The pregnant Today star pointed out that she was sporting a high-fashion look to a high-fashion event. Her short-sleeve collared frock featured three buttons and a cape that her youngest daughter was a huge fan of.
'Listen, it's avant-garde, it's a cape. When I was leaving actually, Poppy was like, "Mom I love your cape, where are you flying to?"' she explained.
