Kamilla Cardoso is living the dream.

Within an eight-day span, the South Carolina star will have won a national championship, in by far the most-watched college basketball game ever, and have been drafted into the WNBA.

It may be overwhelming for Cardoso, especially considering after downing No. 1 Iowa and Caitlin Clark to win the title and complete their undefeated season, the party had already started back on campus.

Cardoso said fans were lined up to greet the lady Gamecocks when they landed back in South Carolina.

"It was amazing. We got back to campus, there was a lot of people here, just whole bunch of celebrations. It was really exciting," she told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.

One of many celebrations occurred on Wednesday, when Cardoso and teammate MiLaysia Fulwiley traveled to a local Raising Cane's and worked a shift to serve some of their famous chicken tenders.

"I'm having so much fun here. There's a lot of people here, I'm excited to serve them, and it's the right thing to help," Cardoso said mid-shift.
