Are high school reunions even relevant anymore? Up until a few years ago, there were people from your past that you wondered about, but could never find out. Now with Facebook, it's only a click away. I'm from a small town with 3 high schools, and there were ~200 in my graduating class. I'm Facebook friends with 300+ from my hometown, and probably most of those that graduated with me.
I graduated in 2000, almost 10 years ago (ack!). When you see these people at your reunion, you're supposed to catch up on the past. You're already friends on Facebook, so you really already know everything that you would have to talk about. You're not really friends, so I imagine there to be a lot of awkward silences.
I had a pretty close-knit group of friends in high school, and I always thought that I would look forward to the summer of our 10 year reunion. After seeing pictures on Facebook from the reunion a year ahead of me, I'm not so thrilled anymore. Honestly, all of the people I want to keep up with, I keep up with. I live 400 miles from there, and is it worth the trip?
