I went to mine. I hadnt see a lot of the people since graduation. I had an absolute blast. It brought back a lot of memories and made me wish I would have kept in contact with some more of them. Id think about it before totally blowing it off.
I went to my 10 yr reunion a lot of years ago, never went to another and don't expect to. Reunions are usually arranged by the rah-rah, glee club types and leave a lot to be desired as far as fun and/or entertainment. We had assigned seating; a crummy DJ; cash bar; and lame a$$, rubber chicken type buffet. We had one of the biggest dorks in our class at our table asking everybody that silly question, "If you knew then what you know now, what would you have done differently?" My best friend (and attorney) looked him straight in the eye and said, "I'd have done more drugs and gotten laid more often!" At least that shut him up for a while.
I went to my 10 and my 20 and was disapointed with both. It was nice to see some people I hadn't seen since high school but basically it's like being put in a room with a bunch of people you don't have much in common with. The reason you haven't seen them in 20 years is probably because you weren't that close in the first place.
I went it was a while ago... It wasn't a long enough time between graduation and the event, everyone was still kind of the same. It was ok I guess.
What was really interesting was we just had a 35th...some people still look the same but some people really had changed dramatically. And this one was pretty fun.
We're having an elementary school reunion in August.
I went to the 10th and the 30th skipped the others as I was living out of State. 50 coming up in a few years and I might go to that one just to see who is still alive!
I went to mine. It's kind of fun to see all the girls carrying an additional 30% weight. It's nice to catch up with the people who you don't see all the time.
My 10 year renunion was a couple years ago, skipped it. Never planned on attending. I talk to 3 or 4 people that I graduated with and that's about it. Doubt I will ever attend one.
I went to my 30th. I don't really know why. I saw some folks that I knew, but really didn't feel any connection. I didn't really socialize much in high school. I was too busy working after school and on weekends. I was also active in bands. My class was huge, like 600. If you are a very social person and partied a lot, you'll probably enjoy your reunion.
High school sucked, I hated it, and have no desire to see that group of most likely failures. There were a few I liked, and I still talk to them, but most of my friends went to another school (my parents own a skating rink in a different town, so I "grew up" with that group)...
So will I go to a class reunion? No. I talked to one girl from my class, and I guess the idiot class president gave our "senior dues" to the school.... So no, Im not going, no one can make me, and if whoever organizes the event doesnt find my address (even though I live 2 blocks from the high school) I would be happy.
We didn't have a 5 year, I went to my 10 and 15 is this year. The 10 was alright. Me and a couple others left the loud band room and stood outside drinking and smoking (legal stuff) the whole time. Of course one guy shows up that hasn't eaten anything and starts slammin' the beers. Needless to say a couple others had to take him home. If I recall, they had to tackle him and take his keys. That was about the only excitement. If we have a 15 I'm undecided.
