Facebook made High School Reunions even less appealing?

I wasn't a fan of high school. I recently missed my 10 year... and that trend will continue.

My 20th was last year, and it was a freaking blast! I had SO MUCH fun!

:huh: :noway: I seriously thought you were in your late 20s

38, but I'll definitely take late 20s! :flowerforyou:

My class didn't even have a 10 year reunion. It would have been last year.

I would love to have gone to my 10 year reunion. But I guess there was some extra requirement besides graduating with your class to receive an invitation. ????

I graduated with close to 400 people in my class. I do keep in touch with my core group of friends on facebook, but we are all spread over the the map. Having everyone together again would be pretty awesome. Unfortunately, a little less than half of the class was invited to the 10 year. There were a a ton of really ticked off people because, like me, they wanted to see everyone together again. I have a ways to go before my 20th, but I plan on contacting the school in advance for details well before it takes place.

Our graduating class had a grand total of 36 people and not all of us were told about it. I didn't have facebook at the time so my sister messaged the one in charge of it for me twice to ask about the place and time. The messages were seen but never responded to. It's okay. I can take a hint. Lol!

I didn't make my 10th or 20th. Most of the people I hung out with are dead unfortunately due to one reason or another. Plus I would rather ride my Harley down to the bar I like to visit and shoot the **** with those folks. A lot more interesting I would imagine.

I think I know exactly what you mean!! My 20 yr reunion is next summer. My graduating class was around 700+ but for our 10 yr reunion I'd say maybe 200 people showed, and for the 15 (which I did not attend) there were only 20 or 30 people present.

Of course 20 years is the "big one" and I'm sure the turnout will be pretty good, as they already have a lot of people on the facebook page a year in advance.

My whole point of going to the 10 yr was to see how everyone "turned out" and that was kind of a joke because most people who attended still looked/acted exactly the same a decade after high school, myself included. I had shorter hair and a college degree, but that's it. My best friends and I went without our boyfriends/husbands and got really drunk and talked to a few people we hadn't seen in years but mostly just sat at our own little table so it was like a normal girls' night out.

Now I have reconnected via FB with so many old friends, even a bunch of people from my ELEMENTARY school...so I feel like in a way, the reunion is pointless because I talk to those people all of the time, and don't care to see others. In another way I dread some slight awkwardness because there are people I "talk to" on FB like 3X a week and haven't seen face to face in 17+ years and in some cases have not talked to at length since the 80s. Not a big deal but kinda weird.

With my weight loss I definitely wanna go, though. Just being honest haha. I weighed around 230-240 when I graduated. Should be at goal of 170 by next summer (180s now).

Fess up people. How many of you have gone to one hoping to have this type of moment?

Nearly every person dreams about it, right? At a point I did but eh. Seems like high school reunions would make you either miserable or super happy depending on how well everyone you hated in high school has done. I have no desire for people's success to be rubbed in my face. Then again, being a khaleesi and all leaves me at the top of my graduating class. :laugh:
