5. I never went to any of my high school reunions.

I thought about it a couple of times, but realized I really didn't want to. There wasn't anyone in my graduating class that I really wanted to see.. My family moved around so much during my high school years that I didn't form many lasting attachments. I'm still beasties with one girl I became friends with sophomore year, but wasn't close with anyone at the school I ended up graduating from.

I did go to my husband's 10 year reunion with him, and we were both bored to tears! Fortunately, the one friend he had stayed in touch with was there, so we just hung out with him and his wife all evening. Big waste of money, because we could have hung out with them any time.

As far as I'm concerned, those things are mostly for the people who were big wheels in high school to relive their former glory. At my husband's reunion, it was super easy to tell who they were, even though I'd never seen them before in my life. Those who weren't part of that crowd, like my husband, were superfluous - welcome to be there, but unnecessary.
