About this Quote

In this quote, Tina Fey is assessing her high school experience and how she was not considered popular in the conventional sense. Despite being involved in activities such as being the editor of the school newspaper, drama club, and choir, she did not fit into the normal popular crowd. Nevertheless, she thinks that she was known for her sharp and critical wit, which may have made her stand apart in her own method. This recommends that popularity is not constantly defined by complying with societal norms, but rather by being true to oneself and having a special personality. Fey's words also highlight the value of being positive and comfy in one's own skin, instead of looking for validation from others.
