Do you think you’ll attend your high school reunion? Maybe you think it will be fun to see how everyone’s doing; maybe you can’t stand the people at your high school and can’t wait to see the last of them; maybe you don’t know what you’ll feel in ten years. What do you think?
I did NOT attend my ten year reunion, and I won’t be going to any of the ones in the future, either. The simple reason is that I’ve grown beyond high school. Contrary to popular belief, high school was not “the time of my life.” I had fun–lots of fun–but then I grew up.
It sounds like I’m bitter about my high school days, but I’m not. I’m pretty comfortable with my high school self. Frankly, though, I’m a different person now. I have different opinions, and different goals, and different plans for my life. (I am still sarcastic, though now I actually say the things I’m thinking … well, sometimes).
For me, my high school years are in the past. Suppose I’d gotten married; maybe the years I was married were awesome, and then I got divorced. Even if I remembered my marriage fondly, I probably wouldn’t celebrate my 25th anniversary. So it is with my tenure as a high school student: it was great when I was sixteen, but I’m twice that old now, and I have other stuff to think about.
Don’t be jealous of my awesome high-waisted rolled cut-offs and my handpainted shirt. You’ll have to try hard, I know.
p.s. Don’t play; that perm is amazing.

I think I will want to go to my high school reunion, but just to compare and catch up with old friends. However, I don’t think I will. First off, I won’t be living here. I am not sure where I’ll be living, but not here, that’s for sure. And second, I doubt the people I’d want to see will show up. And lastly, so far high school hasn’t been as great as they say it is supposed to be. It is just fine; Barely worth being remembered.

I will definetly want to come back, to see all of my friends, and just to check up on everyone. However, I probably will not. I will have outgrown high school, and will be pretty busy. I probably not be even in the state. I want to get out of Tenessee as fast as I possibly can.

I would most definetly want to go to my high school reunion,to see how all my friends have changed and what their doing with their lives. But, I don’t think I’ll be showing up. I know that 10 years after high school I will probably just be out of medical school and starting my career, so i’ll be really busy. Plus the only thing I plan on coming back to Tenessee for is to see my parents occasionally.

I will go to my high school reunion cause I want to see how awfully everyone ages. Age gracefully my butt. I hope everyone, but me, ages badly so me and my mean self can laugh on the inside. Okay…. I am joking…. sort of. But I do want to see how everyone is doing and all that good stuff and see who has kids and who doesn’t and stuff.

I would go to my high school reunion to see how everyone is doing. Because Highschool is really are last chance to be carefree without having adult worries.Also has you grow up you sometimes grow apart from your friends. So wouldn’t you want to be able to go back intime at the reunions and remember a more carefree time.

I would at least try to attend my reunion. Friends always seem to lose touch of one or another. I, like others, probably want to just get out of Tennessee. Most people who say that, however, have a tendency of being right back where they started. My years at this school haven’t been exactly great, but they have been good and enjoyable. I wouldn’t min coming back and talking with my class.

I believe I will come back for my 10 year high school reunion. The reasoning would be I just always have thought of it being a great time to see how much everyone has done with their life. I think it would be a good thing to check up on everyone and maybe get back in touch with some parted friends.

I believe I would go to my high school reunion. I think it would be cool to come back and rub it in their faces when I am a millionaire.Just kidding. I do think it would be nice to see how people are doing. Besides it would be cool to actually say I went to a high school reunion.

I would absolutely try to come back for a ten year reunion mainly to see how everyone is doing, including some of the teachers. Long lost friends that you pal around with in high school are usually not those you are with all your life. It would be great to see how everyone has been, if they have succeeded or failed, how they look (not a lot of facial hair at this age).
