I won't be at either one.
Why don't people go to their reunions?
1. They have bad memories of knowing the people in the first place. Ask the class nerd, fat guy, ugly girl...
2. They have lost touch and aren't looking forward to hooking up again. I have kept in touch with exactly zero of my high school and college classmates.
3. They already know what they want to know about old classmates, ship mates, and family members.
4. They don't make enough money to show off about.
5. They don't drive the right make of car.
6. They have a 'hot spouse'.
7. They don't have a prestigious enough job.
8. They didn't go to AND graduate from the right college/grad school.
9. They are too fat, too bald, too out of shape, too anything except, rich, handsome, beautiful or high on the ladder. (Incidentally, I read that the number one reason why people lose weight is a reunion.)
10. It's too far, too expensive, too inconvenient.
So...do you attend reunions?
Why? or Why not?
Top reasons people Don't attend their High School Reunions.
1. "I'm fat!" - Who cares I am fat too! I haven't seen anyone that hasn't put on some weight. No one cares!
2. "I'm single, separated or unmarried!"- So is 50% of our class. Maybe you will find a date. =)
3. "I can't afford the reunion fee!"- Common it is only $84 and it only happens once every 10 years. The prom cost more, 20 years ago!
4. "I'm busy!"- If your that busy then you need a break. Come relax and reconnect with old friends.
5. " I am bald"- Bald is in baby ! I love bald men they are sexy!
6." I keep in touch with everyone I want to talk to"-Then you should all come and have a great night out and how about the people that want to see you.
7." I hated High School" - Get over it already!~ It has been 20 years. You must have some good memories.
8. "People were mean to me in High School"- We are all 20 years older and wiser, maybe someone has been waiting 20 years to apologize to you.
