Tonight TV Guide Channel premiered the "HS Reunion" tv show and it caught my eye. It was funny seeing folks celebrating their 20th reunion in Hawaii of all places. They showed what they looked like then and what they look like now. They showed the typical "people labels" such as the jock, the athlete, the nerd, the outcast, bully, etc. There was one guy who was apparently Mr. Hotstuff back in the day only to be very balding and not in shape.
This year will be my 10 year HS reunion, which is just hard to believe. For those that have been to HS reunions, what were your favorite things or funniest memories?

Can you believe my class didn't even have a 10 year reunion? Our class was the dud of the century at SCHS...we were too lazy to build homecoming floats or take part in pep rallies, and we were always under-represented in the Student Council because nobody wanted to join anything. We had 1 girl who always did everything, built everything, ran for everything, and won everything. I swear she was the inspiration behind Flick in the movie "Election." I guess she must've died, because no one planned a reunion. Oh well...maybe someone will get bored enough to plan our 15th in 2010! |

Hehe I want to see that. Yeah its funny I was so quiet in HS and just kinda kept to myself and close friends. The guys from school that see me are like wow why didn't I pay attention to you. I tell them because you were a @$$ hehe. And they were. The jerks and I'm like uh you think it makes it ok now to try to woo me? Then they agree and we are friends.
We had our 5 year about 2/3 years ago haha I lost track and I had it all planned out because the officers wouldn't. I had a nice budgeted one. Well the one officer decided to get involved and pushed me out...I refused to go then. Some people NEVER change!!!! Anyway it was a flop 25 people including dates!!! and buy your own food and drinks at a public restaurant that was crappy! Wow think they would've been better off with me planning.

There are several of us that are definitely going to our high school reunion. Our class has had several members to pass away over the years and one being just a few weeks ago due to cancer. My 5 year college reunion was last year and I ended up not going because I was pretty sick. However, I still stay in touch with a lot of my buddies from then. And then there are a lot of my ole HS and college buddies on myspace, so I've kept in touch with even more on there. Our HS reunion is in September and I look forward to seeing what a few folks are like and if they ever changed. I know that from looking at ole yearbooks, I thankfully have a different hairdo and look different. haha. What were our mothers thinking with our hairdos??

I didn't go to mine! Everyone I went to high school with still seems to be stuck in the past. All everyone talked about was where we could all go to get drunk now that it was legal. I saw pictures from the reunion and everyone separated into the same old cliques. I'm glad I didn't go.

Jessica, my 10 year is also this summer and I am looking forward to running into old friends. It seems like there are always a few people on that list of wouldn't I love to reconnect with so and so. And, of course, to see how people have changed should be very fun.

My 10 year reunion was a couple of years ago. I was actually kind of looking forward to it. I was exceptionally withdrawn in high school and only even knew the names of a few people at my school. I'm different now and would have liked to get to know my former classmates a little. But I never got any kind of notification of an event, so I figured no one of my age was interested in doing the reunion thing. I heard from one of my few high school friends later that they had a party and she had gone. I guess I was so quiet, the school forgot I existed. They don't forget me though when they send out annual appeals for alumni donations! Maybe I'll make a point of calling when 2013 comes around. |

Our reunions are different, because Interlochen was such a small private school, they do them in "groups"...like graduating classes of 1990, 1991 and 1992--I'm 1991. It works well, though, because we were all so close, especially those of us attending for four years. They have a lot of alumni performances and things like that, and it's great being back at "Fame in the Woods" for a weekend.
I've only been to one reunion weekend and it was really....decadent. We're all artsy and flamboyant and suffice it to say I didn't sleep for 48 hours straight and then drove home from Michigan to start work on Monday morning!! Lots of "hooking up", too...there are very few of us who were "attached" or married at that time, 9 years ago, now, so it was like a free for all that way, too.
I don't think I'll go back to my 20 year...I'm too tired!!!

I meant to watch that show last night and then ended up watching "UFO Hunters" on The History Channel instead! My 10 year reunion was last year and at the last moment, I opted not to go. It occurred to me that I was miserable when I was in high school and never really fit in and I KNEW I wouldn't fit in now as I'm even "weirder" than I was then. I'm from a super small town where people are exceptionally close-minded and judgmental and I knew I'd have issues walking in with my African-American husband. So I stayed home.

I went to my large number reunion this past September. I went to a small school---60 in the graduating class. It was just fun to see almost everyone. I have no favorite or funniest but it was fun to see how some looked pretty much the same and some looked way old. MB
