“All of my favorite people—people I really trust—none of them were cool in their younger years. Because if you know how to be cool in middle school, maybe you have skills you shouldn’t. Maybe you know how to be conniving, like, naturally.”–Taylor Swift opens up to Vogue about her less-than-cool early years.
I was an obvious exception to this rule, but I do agree that so many of my prep school’s It Crowd crashed and burned after graduation. Do you ever secretly console yourself by pretending that the popular kids peaked somewhere between the SATs and prom…and that it’s all downhill from there? XOXO.
