( MS . TAYLOR gestures for ALYSSA to sit . She does .)
Thought over those colleges any more ?
ALYSSA Yeah , I ’ ve thought . Have I made any sort of decision ? No .
Have you talked to your friends about it ?
MS . TAYLOR
ALYSSA No . I think we ’ re all too nervous to talk about that stuff . We ’ d rather discuss the latest Taylor Swift album or argue over who the best One Direction member is .
Your parents ?
MS . TAYLOR
ALYSSA Kinda . We haven ’ t talked about it that much , but they expect me to go to NYU . I don ’ t know , it seems like an obvious decision , but my heart just doesn ’ t feel in it . Which makes no sense .
( MS . TAYLOR sighs , opening her computer .)
MS . TAYLOR Let ’ s look at your options . You ’ ve been accepted into NYU Tisch School of the Arts acting program and … Harvard ’ s Environmental Science program . Harvard does not have an acting program , correct ?
Unfortunately so .
ALYSSA
MS . TAYLOR Your application to Princeton is still on the waitlist , I believe .
ALYSSA Yeah , it ' s okay though . You know New Jersey , too many bad vibes . It ’ s my third choice for sure .
( MS . TAYLOR laughs .)
