I never went to my high school reunion... I didn't have the fondest memories of high school and have no desire to relive it Probably the biggest reason I'm not really into Facebook.
Anyway, did you go to your high school reunion? What was it like!!
-
I didn't!
-
No, I had a wedding to go to on that day. I really wanted to though because there are a few old friends that I miss dearly and would've loved to catch up. Plus it's good gossip material to talk about with the HS friends you still KIT with.
-
LO was only 2 weeks old so I wasn't ready to leave her. Nor did I want to show up at my high school reunion with all of that baby weight. I wanted to go. Not because I actually am friends with lots of people from high school, and the ones I am friends with I see anyway. But I think it would have been neat to see what everyone is up to.
-
I went to my 10 year. It was horrible. My mom talked me into it and I never should have listened. There were few people I wanted to see and I was really bummed out by how little most people had done in the intervening years.
-
I went to my 10 year reunion a few summers ago…it was ok. High school was fine for me, I wasn’t that popular but I wasn’t a loner either; I pretty much just did my own thing.
I know this kind of makes me sound like a “mean girl” but it also did make me feel good to see that 10 years later most of the bitchier popular girls from high school had clearly peaked in high school! Ha!
I was a little surprised that many people had not ever moved on from high school, or really accomplished anything.
-
Neither my husband nor I have any interest in attending our HS reunions. Like MrBee, HS wasn't my best time and dh just doesn't care.
-
Nope! I hated high school and didn't feel like faking enthusiasm all night long.
-
Heck no. NEither of us had any interest. Liv was only about 6 weeks old at the time of my 10 year, but so few people commited to going that they canceled.
-
My 10 Year is coming up in May. Part of me wants to go and the other part of me feels like I keep in touch with those i want to on facebook so really i have no reason to go. From what i see on FB the bitchy girls are still bitchy, and the rich brats are still d-bags. If some of our teachers were going then i might feel differently
-
I went and was actually in charge of our 5 year, I will also attend our 10 year, but am not spending the time organizing it since I will have a newborn. I went to a very small school, class of only 51 people, so I have kept in touch with most of those I want too. We also have a alumni volleyball tournament every year so we get to see plenty of each other.
-
I've missed both my 5 year and my 10 year now. I feel kind of bad b/c I was actually in town for my 5-year reunion, but I just figured that lots of people wouldn't go. I was really surprised when I found out how many people actually attended. I only really keep up with a couple of friends from high school, so I would probably only go to future reunions of they attend too...
-
Yes, we had a 10-year- I really didn't love high school. But it was nice to see a few people, but none of my besties were able to make it. We had dinner, visited for a while, then took off after a few hours.
We have all changed quite a bit, so I liked getting to know acquaintances, and now we are better friends.
-
No, too far. It is in Hawaii and I have been in London and New York or else I probably would have gone.
-
Went to my 10 year last summer. Our HS was super small, so we just reserved an outdoor space at a local restaurant and hung out and ate and drank. Mostly talked to the folks I keep in touch with anyway, but it was a good excuse to get together and see a few other folks to say hi.
We didn't go to my husbands reunion. It was a big event at a country club that was $75/head. We see a lot of his old classmate around town anyway.
-
No, I didn't because I wasn't in town. If I was nearby, I would only consider it if my close high school friends were also going.
-
Nope, I keep in contact with the people I would want to see there!
-
My 10 year reunion is still 3 years away & at this point I do plan on going. DH doesn't have much desire to go to his, & isn't even sure if his class will organize one! I am curious to see what everyone is up to but can also kind of see it being suuuper awkward & leaving early-hah!
-
Mine is still 2 years away, and I still haven't decided if I want to go or not. Hubby skipped his though.
-
Mine is still 5 years away. We skipped my husband's 10 year though. He couldn't stand the people people he graduated with. All of his friends were in a grade below him.
-
Nope b/c lots of people from high school stayed in the area and ended up at the same college so I pretty much knew what everyone from high school was up to by the time the 10 year reunion came around.
I went with my husband to his 10 year reunion and while it was fun, it didn't make me regret missing out on mine.
-
Mine is this year, and I haven't decided if I'll go or not. I still keep in touch with friends I was really close with in high school, and we're all torn on whether or not we're going.
We went to DH's, though. He had a small graduating class (20 people?), and it was actually nice for him to catch up with anyone he's lost contact with. A bunch of his teachers came as well, and I know he really liked seeing them again.
-
No way! I hated high school and already keep in touch with the only three people from high school that I would want to see. If anything, I would want to go back and tell off all the losers who were mean to me!
-
My high school friends convinced me to go to my 10 year, and I ended up having a lot of fun. I went to a huge public school, so it was difficult to keep in touch with a lot of my class. I thought it was great catching up with people, and it was fascinating seeing where everyone ended up ten years later. It made for excellent people watching, too. But I enjoyed high school - I don't think I would have gone to the reunion if I hadn't.
-
nope! didn't go to my college one either.
-
Nope and only b/c it was half way around the world; and when they had on in San Diego, CA I just found out I was pregnant and having horrible morning sickness so couldn't even make that one. Sorry HS was not memorable for you. Sucks and I can understand why you wouldn't want to go. I would have loved to have gone to mine as I still stay in touch with a lot of them. I'm opposite of you as I am so glad to have Facebook to be able to stay in touch better with them. College reunion is another story. I could care less for that one since I only care to stay in touch with a select few.
-
I didn't have the best memories from high school, but I actually helped PLAN my 10 year reunion and I went. It was way more fun than I thought it might have been. I knew I would regret not going and hearing about it than going--even if it wasn't fun.
@erwoo: LOL. I actually live 3000 miles away from my HS, and so I planned it for when I would be home anyway. I was 13 or 14 weeks pregnant at the time (just announced) and nauseous all the time. Still enjoyed it.
My college doesn't have reunions--I think...
@owlmom: I went to a huge public school, too. Funny thing--there were VERY FEW people I didn't know (maybe because I was planning it more of my friends knew about it earlier and made plans farther in advance?).
ETA We didn't have a 5-year reunion.
-
@pastemoo: Oh yeah, if I were flying home I would have gone for sure! But we had been trying to get pregnant around that time and my husband couldn't exactly get away and I wasn't about to get on a 24-hour flight with a toddler by myself.
Glad you enjoyed your HS reunion though! How fun that you got to plan it as well. -
Mine is supposed to be later this year and there's no way you could get me to go!
-
I went to my 5 yr HS reunion and not my 10. Now it's like what's the point of reunions when we have Facebook?
-
@crash806: I think the reunion was way more fun than facebook. Also, it would have been even more fun if I could drink.
I hear, back in the day, a lot of people met for the first time at their reunion and then got married and lived happily ever after.
THAT was before facebook--so in that area you may be right.
-
DH didn't attend his. He said he didn't want to waste $$ catching up with ppl that he didn't really care to know about...his friends that he does care about; he's stayed in touch with.
My 10 year should be this year, but I doubt anyone is getting anything together... so the decision will be easy for me!
-
I didn't, even though I was supposed to be on the planning committee. Out of the 6 senior class officers, our president decided to plan it by herself and held it at a nice hotel ballroom, for $89/per person, plus a cash bar. I wasn't interested in going at all.
-
I totally take back my last statement! Someone set up a fb group... BUT it is for thanksgiving time this year... With my EDD of Nov 18, I highly highly doubt I will be going!!
-
I was homeschooled, so it would be a pretty lonely reunion.
Glad you enjoyed your HS reunion though! How fun that you got to plan it as well. Reply
