Teenage girls, please donβt worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete. Not only do people not care about any of that the second you graduate, but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old Tennessee Williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. What Iβve noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. For us overlooked kids, itβs so wonderfully fair. β¨ Mindy Kaling (2011). Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), p.31, Three Rivers Press
