14. I went to my tenth. For the most part it was the same cliques, talking about the same crap, ignoring the same people.

I avoided the 20th, 30th, 40th, 45th (??!) and 50th. My best friend since 5th grade went to most of them, and even he’d had enough after the 50th three years ago.

So, nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope.
