The context of the following conversation is riley wanted to go to a historically good college so she showed the college to their parents.:
Riley says I've been searching for the best college to go to when I graduate high school and I finally found it..
The friend responds Really?  That's great!  Did you apply yet?.
Riley responds No, not yet.  Last night I showed the brochures to my mom and dad and they aren't very happy with it..
The friend responds Why not?  I thought they were so happy that you wanted to go to college..
Riley responds They are, but they want me to go to a college closer to home, and the one I like is all the way across the country..
The friend responds I'm sorry, it's going to make it more difficult for you if your parents don't support your decisions!.
