skipping my HS reunion, will i regret it

GO FOR IT!! I agree with sailornep5 above me. I actually just went to my 10 year middle school reunion...haha believe it or not! Some people in my class organized it and sent invites via facebook. We had a whole floor to ourselves in a cute restaurant....time was mostly spent catching up, old memories and lots and lots of laughs...haha we even made fun of the people that didn't show up. I have to admit, at first it was a little weird...but you get over it! I think you should go since it is in your city. If you are not having fun than you can just leave!
 
You said your 'big' one, but didn't what number. I have been to 3....

We had a very low key 5 year one at a park that was horrible.

My 10 year was OK, but hoestly people were much more into impressing each other than catching up, so it was just ok.

Now my 20....that was fantastic! I had a blast! People seemed not to really care about how everyone 'measured up'...just lots of catching up and memorys. It was at the fairmont is town and hubby and I got a suite, so after the official reunion, I bunch of us went up to the suite and kept gabbing until 4 AM! I almost blew this one off, but hubby had just been to his 20th a few years ago (and had a great time) talked me into it. I was so glad he did!
 
I went to 20th this summer and was surprised at how I enjoyed myself. I don't really stay in touch w/anyone, although on rare occasion our paths cross. It was nice though. I got to see pics of some of my classmates kids, catch up on their lives a bit...it was very interesting to see those you thought had it all...not improve much in their lives and those who had an awkward or uneasy h.s., really thrive in 'the real world'.
If you have any inclination at all, just pop in. You can always leave. And, if you look good, dear, you don't even have to worry about what to wear cuz you'll look better than 90% I can bet ya!

I didn't read yours before I posted...I have to say I had very much the same experience as you.

So, there must be something about the maturity of the 20th...all that competition crap kind of melts away and you get a chance to see the real people a bit...and it's great to get to know some of the people you weren't close at all to....jut interesting.
 
hmm.. I also have my HS school reunion coming up pretty soon too and I haven't decided if I want to go or not. Alot of my friends were in the upper grades and they all graduated before me and by the time I was a senior I was only on campus half time. Does getting all doll up worth the trouble? Probably not. I'll think I will pass too....
 
I didn't go to my 10 year and won't go to the 20 year next year either.

I didn't hang out with people from my school when I was in it so have no desire to see any of them now.
 
I have met people from school over the years - and while it is always nice to see them I don't stay in touch. just not me. I was glad when school was over bec in the end i got bored. but I am a 'moving on' kind of person. i have very few friends now but I like it that way.

so, I wouldn't go. but others have nice experiences so if you like socialising and chatting with lots of people I'd say go.
 
Skip it. I would never want to mingle with the people I went to HS with. Whenever I randomly see someone on the street I went to HS with, i walk the other way.
 
I have not gone to any of mine...because the same "popular" people like the class president and football quarterback that got nothing done in high school were the ones organizing the reunions..and they never even held our 20th reunion until the 24th year, haha!
I DO wish I had attended, I am curious about some of the people I used to call friends, and I admit I would love to see what has become of everyone. We are all different people than high school and who knows - maybe I would have found that I really liked some people that I didn't know back then.. I say GO and have fun.
 
I would skip it if you don't want to go. If you really think that you'll regret it, then show up (if it's not too big a hassle) and leave if you don't like it. But I have no desire to go my HS reunion. I didn't care for most of the people in my class when I was there and have no desire to see them again. I've kept in touch with those I wanted to keep in touch with and I'll have no regrets not going to any of my reunions.

It sounds like we had the almost exactly the same exerience!

I don't really keep in touch with others either, and some of the people I had the best time with I barely knew in school.
 
It is really up to you. I wouldn't go if you don't want to, but if you think you might enjoy it then go. I went to mine, but I didn't come away with the feeling I was going to keep in touch with any old classmates. I say it was ok overall and I might attend my 20 if some of my friends go and we are in town.
