Top 10 Excuses Why You Do Not Want To Attend
- I'm not successful. I'm not a lawyer, a doctor or rich yet or my job is not worth bragging about.
That's not what this is all about. It's about reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, and spending a few hours with the people that spent four years of your life with you. Please don't wait any longer, life is too short.
-
- I was not in a popular clique in school.
Now that we're old and smart, those cliques have dissolved just like the superficialities they were based on. The only cliques you'll notice at the reunion will be the sound of your joints as you walk around.
-
- I can't remember anyone's name.
That's why we're having name tags and alcohol.
-
- I don't look as good as I'd like. I am bald, have wrinkles, saddlebags, grey hair and not one will recognize me.
Guess what! You won'ts recognize anyone else, either. Using the reunion committe as a representative sample, our whole class looks like a "before" photo in the plastic surgery ad.
- I'm a different person than I was in high school.
Lucky for you, we ALL are. Let's face it: we could only have improved.
- I'm too fat/going bald/have a skin condition.
You aren't alone. Not a good excuse. Pull on your Spanx, comb it over, slather on the Eucerin, and forget about it for the night.
-
- I hated everyone from high school.
Everyone...really? Not one single person you can remember with fondness? I bet there is at least one high school pal coming.
-
- Everyone from high school hated me or I haven't been in touch in 30 years.
And ignoring this problem will make it go away? Time to make amends and show up at your reunion.
-
- I can't go because I don't have the money, I'm expecting a grandbaby, or I have a serious health issue.
OK, in those special cases we understand and wish you well. You will be missed. But don't forget to add your profile on the "Classmates" page.
