Wwyd?

I know it's silly to ask... lol.. But, would you go meet up with a bunch of people from your graduating High School class? Out of town (2hr drive)... and there would be at least 2 people your not exactly "thrilled" to see- but hey, it's been 20yrs, so whatever right?

It's not a reunion- that was 2yrs ago and I missed it due to a work Project. Not that I'm sure I would have gone anyway. LOL.

My only real hesitation is driving down there on a Friday, finding a place to stay and going out in my old town... I don't want to be a total snob, but the place they picked is not at all my scene. Typically one I would avoid. But there are a few people I would love to see again.

I was excited, at first. Thinking they meant they would be "in town" (i.e. where I live) and it was going to be a smaller group of us girls. But it kind of exploded into a full out "reunion"... and I'd have to leave my family for the night. Not a huge deal. Just not sure it's worth it?

I know, at the end of the day, it's my choice I think I just need time to digest it. Maybe find buddy to carpool down and stay with?

Update- I'm skipping it... just not really feeling it. And tbh, life is too short to do something I'm not feeling (short of being obligated! lol).

Meh, I'm completely over the high school reunion thing. which is weird, because when I was actually in high school, I always thought I would want to go back at any chance to see my friends, catch up, etc, but in reality now that I'm out of school I'm just over it. LOL. I think FB is part of it too, because I'm in contact with my HS friends on there, so am already caught up with them. I don't need to go to any reunion type thing and have to put up with the non-friends from HS.

Thanks yeah-- That's kind of where my head is at too- if it had been a smaller group of girls (in town) I'd love to catch up and get together (there are a few that don't live by me- so odds are I wouldn't see them any other time)... but to take the time out to drive 2hrs, leave my family, and go somewhere I'm not really down with... not really feeling it.

I have time to decide for sure- it's not till the end of August...

I wouldn't do it. Next year it will be 10 years since I left so I imagine there will be a reunion. I am not interested in seeing anyone from my school. I was bullied quite a lot and I don't keep in contact with anyone. I'm really not into the 'look what I did with my life what did you do?' thing.

There's a 10 year re union being organised for this August at my school, I have until the end of July to decide!! I don't think I'm going to go. Although there will be people there I want to see there will probably be more I don't. If I really wanted to see someone I'd look them up and arrange a coffee or something.

I did go to my 10yr- and tbh, it was LAME! Although I've been told (by many) that the first reunion usually is- the rest people don't care to impress as much so they tend to be more fun. Least the 20yr looked more fun (from all the FB posts I saw! haha). But yeah... if I really wanted to see someone specific, I'd hopefully find a time to get together more one on one... I prefer smaller groups these days anyway

I probably wouldn't go either tbh I'm quite happy to leave the past in the past & have no desire to see or speak to my old school friends again & the ones I do are already in my life & staying in contact through fb etc xx

I think it's a no go-- I chatted with my one friend that does live in my area, and she is like me- not really feeling it. So we decided just the two of us would go out another time together and have fun! We've gotten together a few times over the past year-- so it's nice to reconnect with someone in that way. Especially since she was one of my closest friends as a child...
