Do you go to High School reunions?  |
|
My graduation class will be having its, uhhh, well the 35th (I can't believe it) reunion. Instead of the usual dinner and dance at a nice restaurant, they are having a weekend reunion. Starting with a cookout on Friday evening, which everyone can bring their families to. Then Sat. will be a shopping for the gals and golfing for the guys afternoon. Sat. night will be the usual dinner/dance.
I'm wondering if people will go to this, and if they do why. A friend made an interesting comment to me that she already saw the people she cared about and why would she go to see people she wasn't friends with and that didn't care about her in high school. This really got me thinking. Is a class reunion just a show off time? Maybe an adult version of a popularity contest? Do people go that haven't been successful?
Now I have to decide if I'm going. It really doesn't seem like it has been 35 years since I was in high school.

2. CMTS_87 (883) | 6 months ago | Nah! I just don't like going to reunions because I think that is the time wherein many plastic people come over and do their "senseless" thingy! Hehe!
Besides I also don't have close friends back in highschool. Hehe!
Happy MyLotting!

5. jshekhar (1157) | 6 months ago | Hello Sherry, I passed out of high school six years back and we have had a reunion once. I was not in town so I could not attend it. However, I am not too keen on attending reunions because I am already in touch with my friends at that time and I do not really care to meet up with everyone and anyone. Most of my batchmates have left the town as well so not even one third of the batch is available.

6. carpenter5 (1879) | 6 months ago | I was very surprised when I went to my 15th reunion in 2005 that many that wouldn't have given me the time of day in high school, now had much more in common with me now. We have talked weekly, and one girl daily since then. People change,and you should at least give them the benefit of the doubt. Not everyone goes for the reason of making it a popularity contest.

7. Ldyjarhead (5170) | 6 months ago |  I graduated over 30 yrs ago and haven't been to a reunion. Actually, I never heard there WAS a reunion, but I probably wouldn't have gone even if I did.
I heard later that there was a reunion and wondered why I hadn't received an invitation. My mother still had the same last name as I did in high school and lived in the same house that I did for all 18 yrs until I left to join the Marine Corps, so it's not like someone couldn't have found me through a letter to my last known address at my mom's.
I mentioned it to her one day and she really didn't say anything, so I'm betting I did get some mail there and she probably tossed it. Would be just like here, LOL.
At any rate, I doubt I would have gone. I left home straight from graduation to join the Marine Corps so I really had no ties there any longer. I wasn't popular and had few friends and even lost touch with those shortly thereafter and didn't have anything in common with any of them. I saw no reason to want to reassociate myself with a time that wasn't very pleasant in my life.

8. greenline (4552) | 6 months ago | That's really good to keep in touch with school-mates. I have not made it to the reunions, but I do try to keep in touch by mail, phone, email, as often as I can. Friends are friends always!

| 9. chelsit (79) | 6 months ago | Honestly I believe most people just go to reunions to see who got fat, who is divorced and whose life is going down hill, becuase if there was someone you've been missing from high school or college you know you can find them. But its up to you if you want to reconnect with old friends then go right ahead.

| 10. j00nior (73) | 6 months ago | I just had my 1st year away from High School and no way do I want to go back. Just like your friend, I see the people I want to see, why would I want to go see those awkward people that I never really talked to in High School. I had a large graduating class of probably four hundred graduates, give or take a few. It amazes me that some try to add me to facebook now, after we've both graduated, and for the four years while we were in High School, we never talked. But on the other hand there are those who I see at my University now, who I was never friends with in High School but we get a long great now! So it all depends on how I feel in 10-15 years I guess, when we actually have a reunion.
