I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

I was just watching Romy and Michelle's highschool reunion tonight and thought, 'Shit. I wonder what it'll be like if I ever get invited to my highschool reunion?'

Has anyone ever been invited and gone to theirs? If so did you enjoy it?

What reasons did you enjoy it?

Was it because you got to see all your old friends again?

Or because you knew that once upon a time you were considered the outcast/loser/geek and now your lives are much better than the ones who teased you and now you can rub it in their faces that you're more well off now? XD

If you didn't go, why didn't you?

Was it that you just lived too far away?

Were you not real fond of the idea of seeing all your classmates again?

Share your stories with us if you will. =)

I've never been to one yet. My nearest one would probably be my 5-year class reunion which is next year. I probably won't go to mine, I don't have too much of an interest in it since I already keep in touch regularly with everyone I wish to keep in touch with. Not to sound cold but I never cared much for my class. >.>
 
I have yet to be invited to my Highschool Reunion though, even if I were to i most likely won't end up going anyways. Highschool wasn't too bad for me, I just wouldn't want to go back and see my classmates. Reason being is that it's highschool. When I was younger I was told that 'your real friends will be after graduating highschool' I mean it's not always true because Keke and I have been best friends and she went to the same highschool as me but, I want to move forward not to look back on my years of highschool you know? Just seems a bit useless and pointless to me because tbh, Keke was one of the few friends I had and it wouldn't be worth going back to see my old friends. If they really were my true friends and whatnot i'm sure they would make the effort to stay in touch... which never happened.
 
I was invited to my 5 year high school reunion, but never did attend. I was still focused on college, as it was my last year, and quite frankly, I didn't have a lot of friends in high school anyways. I suppose I wouldn't mind seeing some of them, but most others I could really care less about. Not to mention that it was only 5 years, so it's not like people will have changed much in that time span, even with college experience by then.

I imagine a year from now I'll be hearing something for my 10 year reunion (I'm getting old, I know). But still, I don't really have much interest. It doesn't help that I'm not much of a party person anyways. But, who knows, maybe I'll have a change of heart by that point in time. More than anything, I would like to see where life has brought some of these people. Do they have a career? Do they have a family? Especially the case for old friends. I imagine the fact that I was never a high achiever would surprise some of them that I finished college and became a successful engineer. I'm sure some of them have gotten to higher places than me, and as well others haven't when they certainly had the potential. I'm curious to know, but at the same time it really doesn't matter.
 
I've never been to one. I am only 19 but I have been invited to some actually.

The problem is that I live in the UK now and I was schooled, for the most part and for the longest time (spent a few irrelevant months in the UK between moving) in the Middle East. It would be too costly to make my way back anyway. If they had one in the UK seeing as most people from there tend to go to UK universities... I might consider going.

I moved so much though that I wouldn't know which one to go to. I can't remember the faces of people back in those days anyway.

I'm more a person of the present if that makes sense. My friends are the ones that I have now and I don't really do a great job of keeping in touch with my old ones so I'm not sure I would like to go to reunion. I might consider it though, like I said.
 
I have not been to a high school reunion because it has only been about five years since I graduated. If we were to have a five year reunion this year, I cannot personally see myself going to it. I keep in contact with very few people and really I just want to move on from that part of my life. And besides, I only spent about four years with those people.

I did go to my grade school reunion. Most of the people I still hang out with I've known since grade school and my elementary school went 1-8. So I had a bigger attachment to those classmates because I pretty much grew up with them.
 
We've not had one yet, though it's been 10 years now so we are SO due one, I remember me and Gemma trying to get the ball rolling once, but we were drunk at the time so it didn't really come to anything

I'd certainly love a reunion though, see all those old faces Ive not seen for aaaaaages. Even the people I disliked, Im old now and dont really care for high school grudges xD

I'm not sure it will ever happen tbh, our year was always a bone idle lot.... :hmmm:

It'd be ace though and Id most defo go

Reunion in the Science block bogs olol
 
Its been 10 years this year, God thats depressing. But no one has said anything. Most mates have kids, moved aboard or are married now, so doing one would be hard. I would go cause Im in contact with a close few, so Id go along with them. Be a shock seeing my ex, the bitches and the geeks. It seems the geeks did better then the popular kids!!
 
I wouldn't go if i was invited, i don't want to remember any of the stuff that happened in high school when i was attending. Its just alot i want to forget and pretend none of it happened at all just like if it was a bad dream.
 
I only left high school last summer so I don't expect a reunion anytime that soon. They may invite me to come to one when summer arrives - but when it comes to my old high school, meetings aren't usually planned. People just show up and hope to bump into someone visiting.

I'd love to have a reunion at my high school though. I haven't visited since summer anyway and I'd love to see how it has changed over the year. I rather enjoyed my time at high school. It's just too bad that a few people I was close to have either gone abroad or have moved to London ever since. Still - the ones who are still here, it may be interesting to meet them again - even my ex. >.>
 
Our 10 year isn't for another 3 years. So nothing yet, I know there was a 5 year one, but I was 4 hours away, and wasn't willing to budge. If I was invited I probably would go, although it's been so long since I've seen my friends. It would be interesting to know if people have grown more or less fake around the high school parts. I know I probably was the first to get a legit job in my class and of course a lot of graduates (over 75%) are still without jobs.. so I wouldn't want to rub it in.

It would be cool to go get a beer afterwards as well.. maybe catch a Titans game or Preds game. I miss Nashville in general.. High school was quite boring. I mean I got a long well with folks, hung out on the weekend with folks, but my friends in general were from different schools. Those were the interesting crowds =).
 
The girl who was our class President volunteered to coordinate our 10yr and completely dropped the ball. So, we really did't have one. Someone else stepped in and just sent a message out to anyone who had a valid email on the alumni site/facebook/classmates.com that said "Meet at _______ on such and such a date for an informal reunion". It was just a bar in a local hotel that had ample room for 150+ people and live music most weekends.

From what I understand about 10 people showed up. Glad I passed.

I'm not really inclined to go. I keep in touch with everyone I want to keep in touch with and don't really give a rat's ass about the rest. Not to mention - I'd get really tired of answering the same 2-3 questions 50 or 60 times (where do you live.....what do you do....any kids...). Jabbering about that crap mans I can't be using my mouth to drink - and that's not really a good use of resources.
 
Both high schools I went to already had their 5-year reunions, I believe, but I don't think it's all that important to go. I was never a big advocate of my schools and if I wanted to keep in touch with people, I can just find them on Facebook. Otherwise, I see no point in going.
 
I'm in my last year of high school, and I'd imagine it will be quite easy to coordinate a reunion (my class consists of only 18 students), but for the moment, I don't think I'll go to the five-year reunion. Perhaps the ten-year reunion. Some of the kids are nasty uninspired bullies. Five years is too soon to meet them again.
