almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. For us overlooked kids, it's so wonderfully fair. I
Mindy Kaling, in her book "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?", reflects on the common trend where high school popularity often doesn't translate to adult success. She observes that many big stars from high school fade into obscurity as they grow older. This observation provides a sense of justice to those who were overlooked during their school years, suggesting that the dynamics of popularity can shift dramatically over time.
Kaling points out that this phenomenon is reassuring for those who felt marginalized during their youth. It implies that being a star in high school does not guarantee future success, allowing those who weren't in the spotlight to find hope and inspiration. Overall, her insights highlight the often-unpredictable journey of life and success beyond the teenage years.
