Why go to a class reunion?

So, I'm sitting here thinking of reasons why people would not like to go to a high school reunion.

Here's a few:

1. The people I want to see, I still see. Why go out of my way to see people I don't care about?
2. I didn't have a lot of friends. High school was a bad time and things were awkward for me.
3. I hated the school. My parents made me go there. The teachers didn't like me. The coaches didn't like me...etc...
4. I wasn't really involved in anything. I didn't like sports, I wasn't in plays, chess club or student council.
5. I'm really fat now.
6. I'm bald.
7. I'm not really successful and I'm embarrassed about how my life has turned out.
8. I can't afford it.
9. I've moved on with my life, what's the point in forced nostalgia?

So, using the same reasons, here's a few reasons to go to a high school reunion:

1. Maybe there are people that I didn't know very well that are kind of interesting. There may be business interest or networking opportunities. Plus, it's a good way to hang out with the people you do care about.
2. High school is weird for everybody...even the popular people. And people change. Sometimes for the better.
3. It's not really about the school. It's about the people you met while you were there.
4. Who cares about what you were involved with then. It's what you're involved in now that matters.
5. Most of us are fat in one way or another.
6. A lot of us are bald as well.
7. Well, I'm sure most people have a few regrets...for me, being alive and healthy qualifies as being successful.
8. You do what you can. If it's planned properly, it won't be expensive.
9. It's not about reliving the past; it's about reconnecting with some people who had a similar experience.

Some of you guys are on the fence I'm sure. You may see a reunion as cheesy and hokey. Maybe it is? Look at it this way: If for nothing else, a mild curiosity of what people look like and what they're doing is reason enough to attend. While high school should not be the peak of one's life, there certainly was some entertaining moments at that place that make a reunion worth having...

Spread the word...in the meantime, we're going to bug the sh*t out of you with letters and phone calls...
