At the end of the 2015 Spring semester she left Greendale to participate in an internship she was offered with the F.B.I. Along with her friends, she also joined a group formed to improve campus life called the ' Save Greendale Committee'. She unexpectedly reunited with her study group and decided to re-enroll to pursue a degree in Forensics. After four years, she graduated and ironically got a job with a pharmaceutical company.

During her time at college she became close friends with him and their Spanish study group. She began attending Greendale Community College at the age of 18, and it's hinted that one of the main reasons is because Troy was going there. As a result, Annie became estranged from her family and eventually moved out. Her mother wanted to ignore the incident, but Annie chose to confront the addiction and go to rehab. Her drug abuse led to a nervous breakdown that culminated in her jumping through a plate glass window and suffering severe injuries.

She ended up losing her college scholarship (and her virginity) and dropped out of high school due to an addiction to Adderall. In her teens, she attended Riverside High School along with her then crush Troy Barnes. At a very young age, Annie's mother pushed her hard to succeed academically. Her parents divorced and she, along with her brother Anthony, were raised by their mother. She is the daughter of a Jewish mother and an Episcopalian father.

Annie Edison (portrayed by Alison Brie) is a graduate of Greendale Community College.
