I'll get the obvious question out of the way first: Why?

I've been looking forward to it since graduating. Also, I need validation that I'm better than everyone.

I had 0 interest in seeing anyone I graduated with that I don't already keep in contact with so I didn't go to mine.

This actually isn't a terrible idea. People go home for the holidays, so anybody who moved away is more likely to be in the area this week.

Okay, Ill ask some more in-depth questions...

Movies and TV would have us believe that when you attend a high school reunion, you may expect that old grudges will come to the fore, or that old, unresolved conflicts may finally be put to rest (whether they be related to bullying, unrequited love, or whatever). Are there any such conflicts that you will go to your reunion with them on your mind?

How would you rate your high school self (popular, a nobody, someone with a close group of friends but whom the class at large might not necessarily remember, etc.), and how do you think you might come across to your class now?

How did you find out about the reunion? It happens to be the case Ive read some old Reddit threads recently that were about HS reunions, and several posts mentioned Facebook groups being formed to alert people about the event...and also about how drama unfolded in those very groups before the event itself occurred. Anything like that in your case?

Did you enjoy high school? Obviously the true answer to this question may be complicated, so go as in-depth as you like.

This was the reasoning. A few showed up who wouldn't have otherwise. But of course a lot of people didn't because of their plans.

Surprisingly no one yet! One girl did say she lost 100 lbs... so shes looks like how she did in HS.

Didn't have any old grudges so nothing there. My hs girlfriend didn't show up so that wasn't awkward or anything. There were a few people I talked to more tonight than I ever did in hs, not sure how that works.

Definitely someone with a close group that the class at large might not remember. And that's almost exactly how I came across tonight. If I talked to them a little in hs, we chatted for a bit. If we never talked in hs, we didn't talk at all tonight either.

Yes, I wasn't bullied, had a gf, had a good group of friends, and did well in class. I don't really think back on it much like a lot of people do.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Yeah, it was pretty fun. Talked to a lot of people. Made lots of promises to hang out that will undoubtedly fall through. It was held a brewery, so pizza and beer.
