Anyone been to a reunion? Anyone have plans to go to a reunion? I went to my 5 year reunion and that's about it. Not sure what happened with the 10 and 15 year reunion but I didn't go to them. Somehow I was made aware of my high school class having a 20 year reunion this year. And I've been debating whether I want to go or not. Pros -Open bar -Chance to reconnect with a couple of people that I was close with in HS. -Possibility of learning some juicy drama Cons -Expensive (80bux per person) -Far / late -High possibility of cringe. Please see attached screenshot

The cheerleader soshes are STILL grouping together and excluding people My friends sent me video, gave me all the gossip after, and carried around a paddle with my face on it so they could take selfies with me included I love my girlfriends so much

I went to the 10 year and 20 year and will probably go to the 25 year if thats a thing and I’m around. It’s a good excuse to leave the kids with my folks and go out with my wife.

Never went to one Highly doubt anyone I would care to see would be there I always wondered about that, at least half my friends were one grade up or down so I wouldn't see them anyway, lame.

I have not gone to any HS reunions because I graduated from a small military boarding school with a class of 75 people and like 20% of them are dead. The rest save a few, are not people I want to associate with.

Plus I moved out of town and have deleted socials so I am severely out of touch with them.

I've never gone to any of my reunions. I didn't like school or most of the people there and I've long since moved on.

Doesn't really sound like you want to go very much. Gossip about strangers you haven't seen for 20 years doesn't seem like it would be compelling enough to make it worth the trip.

Lots of people trying to one up one another.

I had a good time in highschool, but after graduation I moved out of the suburb town into the nearby city. 20 minute drive. May as well have been a different country. Only person I still keep in touch with is the one other guy who left town, and actually went to a different country. I visit every couple years, he's got a wife and kids now!

I might have been curious enough to go to one, were it not for Facebook helping me keep up to date on the idiot redneck chuds I went to high school with. They're all muted or defriended by now but if I ever need reminding about their existences, it's just a click or two away. It's basically the only useful thing I get from Facebook.

Yes but because you don't have facebook you have both the intelligence and integrity to not go if you don't want to.

I'd rather eat the fetid sludge from a grease trap than go hangout with people that made me try to kill myself in nazi ville. Anyways, no I didn't go to my 10 year and I'm definitely not going to my 20 year.

I went to my 25th. I was rather surprised to find myself spending the night talking to people I never spoke to at all in high school and not talking to the people I did talk to.

Coming up on one of the major milestone reunions for mine. I've been tempted to look up if we're doing anything but then I'd remember how depressing it'd be to see how many people never made it out of my hometown.

Gossip about strangers you haven't seen for 20 years doesn't seem like it would be compelling enough to make it worth the trip. I think this is the best approach. If you don't want to go, don't feel obligated. That's how I felt about my 10 year reunion, but I ultimately felt enough of a sense of distance from it all to want to do the 20th. Maybe skip this one and see how you feel when the 30th rolls around. Hell, it could be at that point, some of the people you want to see the least are straight-up dead! (Unless of course you were subjected to continuous bullying or bigotry as some other people have posted about, then gently caress'em all) DeadFatDuckFat posted:I keep in touch with the people that I would still want to talk to from school, so gently caress that poo poo. I felt the same around the time of my 10th anniversary, but between that and the 20th, I did lose touch with some people I assumed I wouldn't. They weren't all there, but I managed to reconnect with a good friend who had done a stint in the military in the interim. I also spent some time talking to some people I never talked much with back then, including the punk/goth lady who got voted "Most Original" in tandem with me for the weird "peoples' choice awards" section of our senior yearbook. She had bought and renovated an old house in the downtown area of our podunk exurb, and it was fun to commiserate about how pretentious the local elected officials still are about their "historic downtown" in what is essentially an overgrown poo poo-kicker cow town.

My friend/best man was class president when we graduated so he was in charge of organizing the ten year. His wife was pretty sure she got roofied at the event. She was def. hosed up/very drunk but I don't know if anyone like put anything in her drink. Anyway, he said nuts to organizing the twenty year - wouldn't do it, wouldn't go. So the twenty year was real slap dash and small. It was just an open bar at a place on the main street in the town we went to high school in around thanksgiving and I showed up without rsvp'ing cuz no facebook ( ) and a bunch of people paid but didn't show so my wife and I got to eat for free and I got to drink for free. It was decent.

I went to my 25th and they most ridiculously athletic kid from my class told my how jealous he had been in high school of how well I played baseball. No need for anything further after that. Plus I just generally hate people in general now.

I have never gone and for good reason: gently caress those people, and gently caress high school. Okay, non joke answer. I hated high school and I would never bother because from what I can see on Facebook, too many of the people I knew in high school went on to become racists/republicans. Also I live 3000 miles away from my home town. Before you call me an rear end in a top hat, know that my graduating class was around 800, but only 22 people or so ever seem to attend a reunion based on the Facebook group pics I see. Apparently no one liked my graduating class! Also holy poo poo people got ugly. I don’t consider myself handsome usually but then I see me old class and…well. Instant self esteem boost.

I had a reasonably fun time at my 10th reunion, but as a result of that I added people on social media and, well Sometimes I forgot that while Central Illinois is hardly a fascist hotbed, it certainly was not a bastion of free thought either I even signed up to help start loosely planning the 20th with someone who eventually shared a story about Obama's Muslim indoctrination camps or something and I realized I was never attending a reunion again

never been to one, never will. nor any college alumni event or any other thing like that. high school was fine, but i only kept in touch with a few people, and we see each other on holidays most years. can't think of any reason why i'd care what's going on with the other 600 whatever people from my high school class. i'm also not in any facebook groups so i don't even know how i'd find out about one happening.

i havent bothered with any reunions yet. but this thread did get me to look up stuff about it and ended up at recent obits. an old friend passed away a few years ago... not sure what to make of it. he was an important part of the first half of high school, but we also didn't part amicably. ive always thought id eventually apologize to him. huh.
