High school reunions
Re: High school reunions
H's class hasn't had one yet so we haven't had to decide.
My class is having our 5 year in July and I can't decide if I want to go or not. It's the day after H's 25th birthday and the weekend in between two weddings so the timing isn't the greatest. I am friends with most of my class on facebook but it might be nice to see them.
TTC #1 since 08/11 IUI#2 = BFP!
wouldn't have gone. I've kept up with a couple of people from high school that I wanted to and am "friends" with many others on facebook. If they have a ten year it'll be another 4 years from now, so I'll have to see how I feel about it then. I guess I don't really see the point of high school reunions.
** Not sure how it deleted my first line... ** Here's what it left out:
My high school did not have a 5 year reunion that I know of, but even if it did I ...
Mine didn't have a 5. I would have considered going depending on the circumstance.
H's 10 year is this year. I am sure we will go because we live in the suburb of his high school and are friends with a lot of people he graduated with.
When Brett's ten year rolled around, he found out about it the week after it'd happened. I don't know if I'll go to mine. I moved my senior year and while I grew up here, I felt like my Oregon HS was more "home" than here.
That's what FB is for, virtual reunion. You can be friends with your old friends and ignore the ones you didn't like back then, haha

Totally agree!! I figure if I haven't bothered to keep up with someone in the past ten years, then why would I care to go hang out with them again for one night at the reunion.
My 10 year was supposed to be last year but was cancelleddue to a lack of response. We had 900+ in our graduating class and the committee could only locate half of them, I guess. I don't think MH and I were going to go, anyway. We did not have a 5 year.
MH has not gone to any of his reunions, his 15 year would have been last year.
My 10-year is this August. I'm not going. I am still friends with those I care about from HS and I'm not really interested in going to see everyone else (especially since it's going to cost money).
DH's was two years ago and he felt the same way and we didn't go.
There was a 5 year and I heard they trashed the place, since they hadn't grown up at all. I have no idea if there was a 10, 15 or if there will be a 20, but I had/have no interest in going. I went to 3 different HSs and the one I graduated from was filled with idiots. If I could have gone to the first HS, then I would have gone to a reunion.
As for M, I think they had a 10 year at a local bar. He didn't attend and I don't think his friends did either.
I went to my 5 year and 10 year reunions. Both were before Facebook became what it is now, and the only way to know where any classmates were or what they were up to was to be a class alumni correspondent or go to a reunion. Yes, I mostly hung around the people I'm still friends with, but I did really enjoy catching up with those I never got to know all that well.
You know how there were those people in your class that you liked well enough but you just hung out with different crowds? By the 5 year reunion, that hasn't quite gone away yet, but by the 10 year you're past that. Many are married, some have children, and nobody's a kid anymore. That reunion was much more relaxed, and everyone had a very friendly disposition, really happy to catch up, with none of the old juvenile attitude. The 5 year reunion wasn't worth the trip, but the 10 year was.
TTC #1 since January 2013
DH didn't go to his 10 yr reunion and his 15 yr reunion should be this year but he hasn't heard anything about it. He literally graduated with less than 20 people and some of his current best friends are his HS friends so there's not really a need for a reunion.
My 10 yr reunion is this year. I've seen some talk on FB about it, but I don't know if I'll go. It will probably be in May or June--if it's in May we probably won't go b/c it's a super busy month for us, if it's in June then we'll see about going....it would be nice to catch up with some old friends.
I went to my 10 year reunion 2 years ago (yeah I'm old!). It was fun and great to see how everyone is doing. For some reason I didn't really keep up with all my friends in HS. I think it was because I went to an out of state college and many of them did not. And after college I switched coasts. So most of my HS friends I haven't talked to in 5 plus years. It was really great to see how they were doing even though ours was not very well attended.
And as shexmix said, a lot of the cliques were still there but people were much more willing to talk outside of the usual groups.
I moved my senior year of HS as well so I agree! The one I graduated from just doesn't feel like "home" either so I probably won't attend.
