I got to be honest here, I have never seen Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. That's more the Mrs. thing! But I saw a clip on YouTube and it got me thinking about high school reunions. I know my old secondary school has held some over the years. I've never been only because of a conflict in schedules. Not because I didn't want to go. So hopefully in the future I will get my chance. My high school days were pretty good and I look back on them with fondness. I had lots of friends quite a few I'm still in touch with. And it'll be nice to go back and see other people including the teachers and various other members of staff. However one of my friends completely disagrees with me and says he'd never in a million years go to a reunion. That might be because his school days weren't so great. Nothing serious just the usual teenage hang ups.
Would anybody else be interested in going to a school reunion? Has anyone been to one and how did it go?
A big, fat, resounding no! Let me say that louder for the people at the back - NO! Let me say that even louder for the people who are about to enter the room HELL NO!!!
School days were most definitely NOT the best days of my life. True, I didn't have it as bad as others but I see no real reason to go back.
There are a couple of former pupils I would love to see again who seem to have vanished off the face of the earth. If I knew they'd be there for sure, then I'd go just to see them again. There's also a few teachers I wouldn't mind saying hello and thank you to. But there's also a whole lot more (teachers and former pupils) I really don't care to see ever again! In fact if I do see them, I might end up escorted out of the reunion so it's best I don't go.
In any case, I'm in touch with the people I want to be in touch with so I see no real reason to attend.
I don't really have anything against school reunions. I wouldn't necessarily avoid a reunion if someone from my year was holding one but at the same time I don't feel the need to attend either. So I suppose it depends on my mood!
