I changed high schools midway through my sophomore year, going from an all-boy catholic school to public, so I didn’t really know many people from the public high school, besides my immediate social circle. Also they were the cool, class-skipping, weed and cigarette smoking kids, so I doubt they’d be at the class reunion, and they’re probably the only people I’d want to see anyway.
There was this beautiful girl I went on a date with once who went to my high school… a couple years after I graduated, I saw her at a bar, and she gave me her number. I didn’t even remember her. We went on exactly one date, where she revealed that she nanny’d for a super rich summering-in-a-french-villa family, and for some reason it intimidated me so much I had a panic attack, and before we even got to where we were supposed to go on the date, I turned the car around and took her home. Apologized, and never really spoke again.
I still think about her, and how beautiful she was, and what the fuck came over me that night. But I doubt she’d be at the reunion.
Also I haven’t been very successful in my own life (not terrible by any means but, not great) so I wouldn’t really be able to show off much of anything except that I’m much more handsome and physically fit now than I was then. I dunno. Doesn’t seem like much when I’m still riddled with student loan debt and anxiety.
I’m good. I didn’t even attend my own graduation, much less any reunions.
Both times I just had another option with actual friends that I wanted to do more. I don’t really give a shit about anyone from high school, but curiosity would have gotten me to go if it wasn’t for the other option each time.
And, to be honest, I’ve seen a lot of them on Facebook and they’re looking a lot older than I look, so I guess I could have rubbed it in the faces of some of the people that thought they were hot shit back then.
Oh hell no.
I didn’t like the bulk of my classmates 40 years ago and from what I’ve seen in the FB group for my class, which I joined to find those few I did like, time has not improved them at all.
No. I’ve spent a long, long time and a lot of effort to try and fundamentally change the shitty person I was back then. I don’t want to revisit that chapter at all.
You know what? Same.
It took me longer than it probably should have to mature. I’m glad not to have a reminder of it out there.
I cannot physically escape my high school reunion in this lifetime.
I went to a fairly small school and I was the only one who graduated that year.
So every moment of every day for the rest of my life is my high school reunion.
On the upside though, I was the valedictorian, a fact which has actually helped me get jobs.
No. I kind of forgot they existed. With modern communications, I don’t need to meet up with a bunch of people I don’t care for in order to keep in touch with the handful I do.
This year would be my 25th. Never been invited to a single one. There have been several, as a friend has confirmed.
I’m not worried about ever seeing those assholes again. K-12 was spent being tormented for being different. Not something I need to relive.
If I was invited, I doubt I’d go. It’s not even worth my time to flex on someone I couldn’t be bothered to give a cold shit about.
I keep in touch with my real friends, always. No need to reuinte with a bunch of bigots who made my youth a hell in a box.
I couldn’t wait to get those people out of my life. Why would I want to see them again?
The entire purpose of highschool reunions was rendered irrelevant as soon as social media was invented.
Good point…
I dont know if my school even has them. I wont be going anyway even if i find out they do. Theres only a handful of people I’d want to see and they’ve got just as much Internet access as me. If there was anything worth talking to eachother for we would have done it by now. I don’t want to force stuff and have it be weird.
And the majority that I really don’t want to see I guarantee are all “doing better” than me. It turns out being smart and getting good grades doesnt mean shit if your dad isnt already a big wheel at the cracker factory.
No. High school sucked because teenagers suck. Any decent people from then I just kept in touch with. Those who peaked at 17 are pretty pathetic.
No. I’m still working on unfucking myself after the way those assholes treated me. Why would I want to see them again? I’m not successful enough to flex on anyone.
We haven’t had one, but if there were, I would probably go. I was pretty much friends with everyone, and I still stay in touch with a few people I am very close with.
My feelings towards a middle school reunion is pretty much the same as everyone’s feelings towards high school reunion. I would never show up to a middle school reunion. There were some people who tried to do one 10-15 years ago, and I never went, and I never will. The people there sucked. I never want to see them again. If I do then I pretend not to know them and I am pretty sure they do the same.
No, 'cuz it’s just “look at me! Look how successful I am!” Boring as shit.
