WWYD High School Reunion

[ashbash]

I would go if you could just make it about the best friend and few other girls.

If you feel like you will have to small chat with everyone and smoosh then i would skip

I'd definitely skip it. If the last one sucked this one probably will just be more of the same and @jemomma, hit the nail on the head.

Honestly I think high school reunions are for two categories of people: those who peaked in high school and want to relive the glory days and those who need to prove that they are no longer the whatever they were in high school.

Skip.

Honestly, I don't see the point of hs reunions anymore. I mean, I think they used to be a big deal because you would be able to reconnect with people that you might have lost touch with since graduation, but now we know everything about everyone because of social media. I know that my 10 year was more of an excuse for the people who all still lived in the area and hung out anyway to get together and drink. I'd pass.

I'm in the same position as you, only went to the last two years of high school, not super close to people. I skipped my last two reunions. I see the people I want to see.

Kristykristyleelee on point with the gifs lately.

I skipped my ten year (I was on my honeymoon...I *might* have gone, if my friends did. They didn't go because I didn't. Also, Facebook.

I vote skip.

I went to my 5 year reunion and that was a horrible experience even though my friends and I spent most of the time at the bar across the street. I have not gone back to any of the reunions since then.

Widget123 I have never heard of a 5 year reunion, was everyone just too eager to wait until 10 years?

I have no idea.  I wasn't one of the cool kids so I was not involved in planning those kinds of things.

I'm in the same camp as Bluedaisy in thoughts of who attends reunions - either they peaked in high school or have something to prove.

My 10 yr reunion got cancelled because of the lack of interest. It was supposed to happen this past August. The girl putting it together planned for it to be outside, at the park by the high school, kid friendly, $25 cover charge/person, and BYOB. August in Maryland means 95+ degrees and grossly humid. All kinds of nope. Plus the pics that surfaced from the 5 yr reunion had people doing keg stands with their toddlers in the background. Classy. DNW to ever attend a reunion.
If I like the person enough, I'll stay in contact with them. Just go out with your friends and avoid the reunion.

[Bluedaisy]

Yup, with the invention of social media I keep in touch with those I want to. The rest I have no interest in seeing.
