I would have gone to mine but the Jocks usually are in charge of setting it up and think everyone wants to donate to play golf. The Jocks were dorks back then and nothing has changed in over 30 years. Now if we donated for a couple kegs also... I would be willing to compromise on the golf. There were quite a few I wouldn't mind seeing. Tim
My 30th will be coming up soon and once again ..... they will have it without me . Luckily my wife knows better than to try to drag me to hers
I didn't attend my ten year reunion a few years ago. I joined the Army two weeks after graduating and I never really tried very hard to keep in contact with anyone. After a few combat tours high school buddies don't seem that important.
Old wannabe jocks now !!! They were a weird bunch in high school and thought too highly of themselves. From the recaps I heard of the class reunions over the years... their mind set never changed. Stuck up dorks and suck the fun out of it. Tim
I graduated w/ 450+, I don't do facebook and live a couple hundreds of miles away, so...I almost never see anyone from HS, other than my best friend growing up who I still count as such. my 20th is coming up next year, and I didn't go to my 10th. I figured I hadn't really accomplished anything yet so what was the point? I'll probably go to the 20th. Just seems like I ought to. Probably the one and only time I'll go, especially as I'm in pretty good shape and have almost all my hair
The class president didn't even hold our 5 year reunion. I will be attending my 10 year, and all reunions after. I graduated with 130 and didn't have an enemy throughout school - It will be great to catch up with them outside of the Facebook realm.
I HATED school. It amazes me to this day that I graduated. If it wasn't for a girl I know I never would have and my mom begged me in tears to even attend the graduation. The diploma meant nothing to me. I hated school. I wasnt bullied, I fit in, had a lot of friends I just hated the waste of time that was school.
I didn't go to my 5 year. I wasn't "popular" in school. Was always the quiet one. I kept to myself. I doubt I'll go to any of them - but would be nice knowing I graduated college, got married, bought a house and still haven't had a kid. That's almost unheard of in this town! But, I'd like to think I'm pretty successful. Not many (around my area) can say by 25 they're married, have a house, a racecar, fourwheeler, pulling tractor, enclosed trailer, horse trailer, new vehicles and can proudly say that they did it themselves. Only debt we have is our house - and that should be paid off in 7 years!
Thank you! A lot is thanks to my husbands great job (though it takes him away from home weekly). But it is something we are very proud of!
Facebook has made high school renunions irrelevant. There is always other objectives like getting drunk, showing off your wife, bragging about your kids, etc., but Facebook has taken care of the catching up part. It is not the 1950's anymore.
Sounds like you've done pretty darn well and you're only two years older than I. We don't have most of that stuff. We do have a house and a cabin up North, but my husband had that when we married. I do have two daughters though. Miriam is six and Michelle is four. I doubt I would go to a reunion. I was pretty much a loner too, but I still keep in touch with a couple of friends and one of my teachers.
You get out of school what you put in to it. Simple as that really. Same can be said for college. Heck, same can be said for life.
Thank you. I hope I didn't sound rude, truly didn't mean to. But if you knew the town I'm in I'm sure one would understand. My husband would love to have a cabin somewhere. Right now I don't want another headache, lol! Sounds like a lot of us were "loners". I still am to a point, though.
I hated school too. 1) It was boring 2) I had some serious issues going on at home that kept me from from being able to take it seriously. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
Oh you didn't sound rude at all. Not a bit. It's hard for me to understand why people don't like school. I really loved it. For myself though, I never really planned on college. But one of the agreements my mother made with my husband before she gave me permission to marry was that he would see to it that I went to college. (In our tradition, you obey your parents until you marry, then you obey your husband.) So I never really had a choice. I'm very glad though. I love what I do. They're talking about closing our school. Maybe there will be a nostalgia reunion. If they timed it right, some of the guys who are out on parole could attend.
