Hey there! So, I’m gearing up for my 30-year high school reunion, and honestly, it feels way less daunting than my 10-year shindig. Back then, social media wasn’t even a thing, so I had no clue who’d be there or how they’d look. I was fresh into marriage, and my TV show was still a few months from airing. When I introduced my wife, people smiled politely, but I could see their expressions screaming, “He’s jobless, and that beautiful woman must be a hooker he hired.”
A decade isn’t enough time to shake off those high school vibes. The 10-year reunion felt awkward for everyone; we all wanted to impress each other, even though most of us were still figuring life out in our twenties. Conversations dripped with an undercurrent of anxiety, as if we were all worried that everyone else was thriving while we were just… okay. After that experience, I swore off reunions for good.
But then, I did what anyone might do after a few drinks—I signed up for the 30-year reunion. Now, I’m heading in as a divorced guy whose TV show has been off the air for over a decade. I’ve tasted both amazing successes and epic failures, but here’s the kicker: I’ve finally reached that glorious stage of not caring what others think of me. Thanks to social media, we’re all aging together, and it feels liberating.
Gone are the days when I was the class clown, and I don’t need that role anymore. The cheerleader everyone admired is now a stunning, confident woman with grown kids. The high school jock? He’s a humble small business owner, not reliving past glories. Even the nerds have grown into their own identities. By 30 years, we’ve all figured out who we are—or at least, we’re a lot closer to it.
Now, I’m definitely looking forward to the reunion. Just as soon as I hit the gym extra hard, because I refuse to show up with a spare tire. So, goodbye Easter candy!

In summary, the 30-year reunion is a much better experience than the 10-year one because we’re all more comfortable in our own skins, and we can enjoy reconnecting without the pressure of impressing anyone.
