Were you excited to see your former classmates/batchmates? Did you have so much fun?
How often should we have school reunions, anyway? Is every 5 years too much? How about 10?
I just got an email from a HS classmate and she wants to organize one this year and she is asking if I could be part of her planning committee. I haven't responded yet as I am half hearted on this. The last one we had was about 10 years ago and somehow, I don't think we need to have another one soon.
I'd appreciate it if you can share your view on this. Have a nice day!

Hi elmolovesu! Believe it or not, for 20 years now we get to have our high school reunion every December of every year. LOL! Talk about missing high school friends! haha..Besides the annual get together, we also hold a mini reunion of our batch a few times within the year. I guess, we don't get tired of seeing each others faces. Last December, 2008 our high school batch was the one who sponsored the alumni homecoming wherein other batches joined our batch. A week before that we had our Reunion Christmas Party and the week after the homecoming we had another Thanksgiving reunion of our batch. Gee, I wonder now when we are going to get tired of this. LOL! I really don't attend every reunion that they organized because sometimes it coincides with some important family or business functions. However, I could say that I have attended most of the reunion we had.
Take care and blessings to you!

Wow...every year. You must have very close ties with your batchmates. I'm happy for you, Faith.
Thanks for sharing. Take care always!

Reunions are fine until you start having too many of them and the conversations start to repeat themselves. Frankly, I don't care to see my old classmates. They seem to have remained jerks, old jerks. Cheers!!

Hi underdogtoo.
I have attended the first one we had and I agree with you, some of those who were jerks back then have remained such...there were a few, though, who have tremendously changed for the better.
Thanks so much for sharing..Have a great day!

I never have a reunion, as no one want to do it in my high school. It is poor that no one wants it. I am particularly jealousy when I saw my hubby went to his high school reunion.

i think high school friends are the one that i'm closer with.. although i'm overseas.. but yet, we still keep in touch..
we juz had our very 1st annual trip.. yes.. we plan to have a trip every yr from this yr onwards.. n i've no regret.. though we planned it abit late.. n can't book the place we wanted to go.. but yap.. is a good gathering to catch up with one another..
n it also depends on how close u are with ur friends.. no harm to meet again after a few years.. especially if u r working, is a good opportunity to expand ur network again.. i mean if u need any help.. friends that u know is better than someone u dunno..
i think 5 years is too much.. should have a reunion every year..

My last school reunion was not a happy one,first,the organizer just invited a few of them,and some of them did't show up,second,Everybody seems like strangers,we haven't met each other about 6 years,when the reunion began,I wanted to go home already.and some of my old classmates left before the reunion ended.So,that was the worst school reunion I ever attended.

I never had one myself, because ever since high school, we lost contact. I don't really enjoy my high school years anyway, and I don't want to reunion again. I felt shame of to meet everyone now, because I didn't make my millions yet. Probably someone from my high school is already doctor or lawyer already.

actually i love attending reunions due to the fact that my communication with my friends in high school is very limited since all of them, i mean us are very busy and reunion is the only way for us to get together and make up for the lost times..but unfortunately i wasn't able to attend our batch reunion last december cause i was in a duty and it was very sad..i think i miss a part of my life being not able to attend and see them..how i wish this summer we'll have another reunion..^^
