Future High School Reunions

So as Hazel and I were talking about our little get together tonight, we started talking about our ten year high school reunion. I know it's a bit premature because we're only on year four but still. Things have changed since high school and it was fun to gossip about people.

For instance, there is the typical jock, geek, beauty queen, etc. in every class. With the invention of Facebook, we could peer into people's lives without them knowing. Can I just say that some people are ugly now? There are some of the "preppy and cool" kids who are fat and ugly. They used to be the most in shape people in our class and now they look like drunk hobos. I get that you joined a fraternity and got a beer belly but that's not good looking. I joined a fraternity too but you don't see me gaining 20+ pounds. It's a shame because they were the good looking guys too. :P

Second, I can't wait to hear about what everyone will be doing by then. Six years from now, we'll have doctors, lawyers, a student affairs professional (woot!) and much more. But who will be the one that is trying to cure cancer or AIDS? We went to enloe (the smart kids' school), it'll be natural that people go into medicine or law. I want to know those random people and what they did with their lives.

Third, I wonder if anything funny will go down. I read a news article on msnbc.com about high school reunions the other day. Apparently, people have paid other people to go in their place. I would rather just skip the reunion than have some stand-in. In addition to that, one senior class president (the person who usually coordinates the reunions) paid a random person to go to the reunion and pretend that she was in the graduating class. I think that's funny because half of the class insisted that they remembered the girl while the other half insisted that she never attended the school. I wonder if Sonya will try that.

Finally, I can't wait to judge people. I think the whole point of a reunion is to judge people. If I haven't mentioned it enough, everybody is constantly judging others by looks, careers, etc. Reunions are just an excuse for everybody to get together and judge each other. You can see how the jocks became the fat ugly people (already happening) or the fat ugly people being the drop dead gorgeous people.
