Why would you even consider going? I'd rather have my fingernails pulled out with oliers
I am considering going because I am afraid I will regret not going.Also, i dont want to miss out but I am afraid it will be a boring 6 hours considering only 13 or so people are going.
I’m having second thoughts about going to mine, but I already told my former classmate that I’d go and I like to keep my word. Also, this is probably the last reunion where I’ll be decently attractive and not overweight.
I think that's the best reason. I enjoyed my high school experience and had a range of friendships during my time there. Did a lot of fun things with a lot of fun people. I moved away so I didn't stay in touch but I happened to be in town when the ten year reunion was scheduled. I decided to go to the reunion just to catch up. The best experiences were unexpected -- a couple of girls who ran up and embraced me -- one girl who flew in just for the reunion and I didn't know she would be there. It was great catching up with another girl who I was friends with in the early grades and knew her family. She died a few years later so I was so happy I went. Another girl invited me to her home for dinner to meet her family. Conversations with some other classmates were limited and with a few it felt forced. So, it's a crap shoot. I had a much better time than I anticipated but once was enough. For the most part, my life is very different from most of my classmates.
Okay,thank you....I appreciate it.Im glad you had a good high school experience.
I started a facebook group for the class several years ago,Roselvr.I am thinking of not going because only one of my good friends is going that I know of.Also, it is 50 bucks which is kind of expensive for me.
OK, so you're leaning towards NOT going. Good, fine.
Again, as I said earlier in this thread, I didn't go to mine...there was no pondering about it for me. I didn't go, don't regret it, am glad I didn't, & couldn't care less about it.
Didn’t care for my HS, so I didn’t go. I still keep in touch with 5-6 classmates and none of them were going to either 10 or 20 year, plus they were locals!! You can tell how much we disliked the place!
I was local for the ten year but didn’t go because I had no interest, was on a weekend out of town trip and it was $75. Out of a class of 400+, I don’t think they got TOO many people to go, plus they stupidly had it in a tourist destination 20 miles away. Parking was a hassle and it was PACKED with tourists.
For the 20th, I lived 1,000 miles away , so I definitely didn’t go. They got about 75 people to go, I suspect 20 were spouses/dates of my classmates. It was interesting to watch all the petty arguing on FB over the planning. Again, they overcharged, $75 a piece and that wasn’t originally going to include open bar. I’m not from an expensive city.
I noticed for the 20th that a super b*tchy girl was trying to throw an alternative reunion for the “popular” clique and had a private Facebook group for it. She only invited those worthy enough to see her (still) large behind and homely kids.
I saw the pics for the official 20th reunion online and I don’t think I missed much. Still looked pretty cliquey, maybe by the 50th they won’t be that way.
My best friend’s mom went to the 50th for our/her HS and enjoyed it though!
I didn't go to my 10 year high school reunion and I don't plan to go to any anyway. I don't keep in touch with my classmates and they don't keep in touch with me. I kinda like to keep it that way

Yeah I just don’t think I could justify going to a 20th reunion because I’d honestly only be going for them to see me, like I don’t give a crap about their lives or what they’re doing. If I did I would be FB friends with them lol. It would be some inner satisfaction and joy seeing the old “hot girls” who have gone way downhill and have several kids, just knowing I’m in the best shape of anyone from that entire class, and then bringing my (by that time) 27-year-old hot wife there. It makes me smirk to think of it, but that’s not a good reason to go to a reunion at all! Hahaha
Mine was this past weekend and I didn’t go. I did chicken out a little but in my defense, I also ended up having something much more important to do.
Sure. Go. The 10 year reunion is a great time to get laid. That person who wouldn't give you the time of day in high school will be sorry about what they missed. Get phone numbers. It will perk up your social life for months.
Well I would not go to the reunion with the intent to do as you suggest.It would be for other reasons.
My recommendation is that you go. My second recommendation is that while there, try to avoid using the word, "yall".
saying y'all is very common in Texas where I live.
