I attended my 55th HS reunion a few months ago—and believe me, nobody will care how much you weigh. They will just be mighty glad to see you!
Have fun!
My 20th is just a few weeks away. I remember my mom’s 20th....I may have made fun of her for being old.
I never understood the reunion freak out. Yeah you probably aren’t the healthiest, best looking, most emotionally successful, most financially successful person from your class. You’re also probably not the worst off either. Go, relive old times, celebrate those of you that survived this long, toast the ones that didn’t, enjoy yourself.
I’ve never been to any of my class reunions and have very little interest in doing so. Maybe if I happened to be back in town at the same time, but I’m never going to fly 2000 miles just to spend a night hanging out with those people. The couple of friends from high school I’d be interested in talking to I’m already in contact with, and they were a year behind me.
I have not seen or talked to anyone I went to HS with since I walked the stage when Carter was in the WH. Haven’t missed a thing.
Piece of cake, be who you are and don’t try to be who you aint. Few you never liked will arrive and you still will not like them. They are the same age as you, and is good to go probably will not be another one.
I went to my 45 year a couple of years ago and thought I had dropped in on a reunion for my grandmother.......
I graduated in1968 and had my reunion in 2013. Many women told me I was the classiest person at the whole shindig. I was polite, gracious and not putting on airs and enjoyed sharing the episodes in my life. And, yes, I got laid that night.
Got my 40th coming up. It’s only 200 miles away and I’ll probably go. I was the real skinny kid in school so I have no problem with my belly, even though I’ve been losing weight since the divorce. (must be from eating my own cooking.)
I went to my 10th and surprised everyone. Showed up in my Navy uniform. No one had any idea the I would join the military.
Then, the Great Recession totally busted up my already insufficient retirement savings.
So, I'm old, lower middle class, I look 15 years younger than most people my age, and I can outrun all of them.
Hmmmm - think I'll stay home and go to bed early on reunion night.
I was not in the “big shot” crowd in my class. That was over 50 yrs. ago. - Several years ago, I asked the self-appointed class ruler to please remove my name from their list of class members. (I had attended most all the stuff through the 40th reunion PLUS all husband’s class stuff.) - When Katrina hit in NO; my class was planning a big cruise- those who could afford it, that is. - Then the cruise ships were commandeered for housing for the refugees from Katrina who had lost their homes in the flooding. - That bunch was STILL beating the drum for the cruise; and I just got enough of the tone deafness that dominated that bunch. - So, God bless ‘em. I just want to get OLD & FAT in PEACE!
My wife and I graduated together and had bought tickets to attend our 50th this summer. A very serious last-minute problem in our son’s family kept us from attending, but I got a great note from an old friend letting us know we were missed and sharing some stories with us. I suppose this was our last chance to meet up again with old classmates - at least on this earth - so I’m still sad we had to skip it.
We need to see before and after pictures....we will judge you fairly....
My college 60th would have been last year.
We had no reunion,but we did have a 50th. Had a good time.
