High School Reunion

spalko · May 2014

My 10 year (!!!!) high school reunion is this year, ugh, I just feel old typing that. Anyways, I am curious to see how many of you ladies went to your reunion or, if it hasn't happened yet, who plans on going?

I feel like the people trying to plan our reunion are making it way too complicated. They are upset that people don't want to pay $30 to have a catered event. Keep in mind that I went to a super small high school (graduated with 48 kids) so the need for anything fancy is just silly to me. I didn't have a bad high school experience. I liked everyone and (I think) everyone liked me and I was involved in sports, etc. So high school wasn't bad but I have no desire to go to this event. I just feel like after 10 years, eh, whats the point?!? I keep in touch with those that I want to and I feel like that is enough. Am I being bitchy? I guess I'm just sick of seeing all the chatter on Facebook and all the pettiness that is associated with it. So, give me your opinions on high school reunions - yes, no, whatever

I don't plan to go to mine when it rolls around. Mostly because I still live in the same town and since we had Facebook then most of us have kept in touch. I am always running into someone I went to high school with. H graduated the same year as me but from a different school in the next town over and he feels the same as you. He was pretty popular BUT he doesn't really care anymore and he keeps up with the ones he cares about. He has no desire to go to his reunion at all.

H's is this year. It's 60$ per person and kind of an all weekend event. I wouldn't think 30$ is that bad. It does cost to put on events, rent halls, get food etc. we will probably go to his depending on the baby situation. It's the same weekend as my due date.

Mine will be next year, I'm sure there will be cost associated with it, and as much as i complain, we'll probably go to that one too.

I do feel much the same, Facebook lets you keep up with everyone you want to, and some that you don't, but it isn't the same as face to face. I have mixed feelings, but in the end I'm sure we'll go to both and have a good time.

Our 10 year reunion is this year....so far nothing is planned, theres been a FB "planning" group for over a year, but here we are at May and no one has decided or booked anything yet...so I will be impressed if anything actually happens. The ideas being thrown around are now talking about maybe August/September and everything from a bar night to a family picnic at the beach with peoples kids has been suggested...

If they end up doing a daytime event or a dinner/pub casual event I'll go, if they end up renting a hall/getting something catered or going downtown I probably won't.

My 20 year is coming up next year (man I feel old next to all you 10 year reunions). There has been talk about just throwing a BBQ at the local state park and everyone just brings whatever it is they want to eat/drink and chipping in a couple bucks to cover the pavilion rental.

For my 15 year we all just went to dinner at a local seafood place, made a reservation for the smaller dining room and we all just paid for our own meals.

I didn't go to my 10 and we didn't have a 5.

My 10 year us next year and I probably won't go. I only went to the school for 2 years and I only graduated with 65 other people. I occasionally run into someone and chat with them but I am not very interested in going to a reunion with those people to hear them complain even more. Like everyone else, I am Facebook friends with the few I got along with really well.

My 10 year has passed and they planned a reunion but ended up cancelling it because not enough people wanted to go. If it had been casual, I may have gone, but it was $50 per person for hors d'oeuvres, not even a meal, which was just ridiculous. I don't need to spend $100 for H & I when I keep up with people on Facebook.

I had my 10 year in 2011, and bunch of my gf's boycotted it and we actually had one at my house and it was super fun. There is actually an all class one in June,down the jersey shore, we have been thinking of making it a girls weekend, but no real movement on it.

5 yr- not a real 'reunion' more like an agreement to all meet at a certain bar. On a Saturday night. Which was a little odd because there were a ton of other people around, and it was really loud. I'm not sure what the point was.

10 yr- see 5 year.

15 yr- (ended up being a 16 yr, actually). Much the same as above, but someone got smart and planned it for late afternoon, and the bar was in a restaurant, so it was pretty empty except us. Not a great turn out, but I had fun catching up with some people. Maybe it is because we were pre-Facebook, but I am definitely not fb friends with everyone I went to HS with. Not even all the people I was close friends with!

I have been to my college 5 and 10, and hope to go to all future also

love my small single-sex college!

Mine is next year and I'm not sure if anything has been planned. I feel like I already see the people I want to, but it would be nice to see everyone else. We are planning to TTC in the fall so there is a chance I could be super pregnant when it rolls around and I may not want to see people I haven't seen in ten years see me like that.

My 10 year is next year. I won't go. I have no desire to go. Anyone who I want to see from high school, I see. H, on the other hand, is more than excited for his. There was talk awhile ago about it being a weekend long booze cruise. Um.. nope. I think we might be busy that weekend

We didn't have a 5 year that I know of.. Even if we did have a 10 I would not go.. I didn't care for most of my classmates.
