A few weeks ago, I received an invitation to my high school reunion. This shouldn't surprise me. Social media has totally stolen his moment from me. How much can I really look forward to reuniting with people I can find in a few clicks and taps?
Which I haven't. Lost track of time and all.
I'm actually looking forward to it. Ive totally become the "must lose 10 lbs" girl, even though I'll be roughly the same size as I was then. I am a little freaked about ...well everything. Which is silly. I didn't really vibe with my classmates anyway, but it will be cool to revisit the past.
Do teachers attend these things? I wonder if they'd remember me. My best friend won't go: she hated that place more than I did. I wonder who is actually going. I could just go on Facebook but again, element of surprise.
Dress is picked out but of course I'll go through 3 other outfits before reluctantly going back to it. I hope I'm not as awkward as I was then. Ill smile and make small talk and eat finger foods and smile at pictures of people's children...
Shit. I'm not married, and I'm childless. Fuck. Haven't travelled. I'm gonna be the girl who talks about work. I'm still worried about being cool.
No, this will be fun. Seriously. *breathe* Any advice?

My 15th is coming this fall and I am looking forward to it less than the 10th.
All I can say is go and tell yourself you only have to stay an hour. That's what I did for my 10th and ended up staying much longer (even though I was still among the first to leave).
I had a good time. I just get overwhelmed in crowds.
Ha! According to the FB group, a lot of ppl are not going. The venue is a bit out the way so I'd like to stay long enough to make the trip worthwhile. I'll be sure to post about it!
When people start talmbout their kids say "Oh, Qa'Shawn, is that the one you had just before graduation?" or when people start trying to drop info bout their accomplishments interrupt with "but bitch im awesome". That works for me.
