Audrina Patridge says she’s “almost done” with the MTV’s The Hills, which begins its new season on Sept. 29.

“We’re in the middle of finishing these episodes, and I’ll be leaving then,” she told reporters over the weekend at a junket for her movie Sorority Row. “It feels like I’m graduating. I’m taking the next step and growing up and maturing and moving on in my life.”

Patridge, 24, says she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, and now that several years on The Hills has helped her become “comfortable in front of the cameras,” she’s ready to take up that side of her career again. She’s also working on a reality show with Survivor producer Mark Burnett; MTV has ordered a pilot.
