So I was just like, oh, yeah, Michelle's at school right now.

And, you know, but so, yeah, I made my age.

Huh?

Well, I did, but I made a really good friend who actually wasn't in the school.

And so I ended up moving in with her and like her parents were away and she had a really great house.

So I was having fun.

We were like going out and having a good time.

And then I was, you know, I was in a summer program, so it was pretty full on.

It was great, but it made me realize, oh, I want to really study and study.

take this much more seriously so when i went it you know i did a play in high school and i had all these agents saying let's put you on a show and i was like i want to go to college and i want to really study yeah you know because i also thought i would look at jessica lang and things like francis i'm like that's what i want to do but i need to learn how to do it you know i didn't i was felt like you weren't ready yet

I just felt like there was levels of, you know, layers that I needed to know how to do.

And also I, you know, I really, I wanted to go to college.

I kind of had this idea of these, you know,

actors and actresses who just went on a show and that's all they knew and i was really encouraged by my family and also by some of my professors you know to say listen learn everything like i i didn't want to be this like dummy who didn't know my history and my psychology and i thought all of it would feed into what i was doing and the parts i knew that i really wanted to play weren't until i was a little bit older anyway so i'm like i just have to prepare for that

Oh, I was doing that a lot.

See, that was in the Valley, right?

Because I was in 14, 15.

I went through my weed years and it was the Valley.

And then, you know, it was pretty full on.

But I realized the people that I would gravitate.
