Hey there! So, I recently hit up my 20-year high school reunion, and wow, I learned a few things that took me by surprise. Here’s what stuck with me.

1. Bars Are Way More Fun: Our 10-year reunion was held in a stuffy banquet hall, where we were all stuck at assigned tables, awkwardly munching on chicken. This time, we opted for a lively bar, and let me tell you—it made all the difference! We could move around, chat, and enjoy drinks without the pressure of staring at each other while scarfing down egg rolls.
2. People Change… A Lot: It’s wild to see how much everyone has transformed over two decades. Some folks looked completely different, while others had that familiar spark. It was a nice reminder that we all grow and evolve.
3. Old Rivalries Fade: I was nervous about running into my old high school nemesis, but surprisingly, we ended up laughing together about our ridiculous past. It’s funny how the things that once seemed so important really lose their weight over time.
4. Everyone’s Got a Story: Catching up with classmates revealed that everyone has been on their own unique journey. From career changes to family adventures, it was inspiring to hear how much we’ve all experienced.
5. Nostalgia Hits Hard: Walking through the venue brought back a flood of memories. It’s amazing how certain smells or songs can transport you right back to those high school days.
6. Friendships Can Rekindle: I found myself reconnecting with people I hadn’t spoken to in years. It’s like picking up right where we left off, and that felt really good.
7. Social Media Doesn’t Capture Everything: Sure, we’ve all seen each other’s posts online, but nothing beats face-to-face conversations. There’s something special about real-life interactions that scrolling just can’t replicate.
8. Time Really Flies: It’s wild to think it’s been 20 years since we tossed our caps in the air. It made me reflect on how quickly life moves and to cherish every moment.
9. Common Interests Resurface: It was fun to see how some old passions have resurfaced in our adult lives. Some people are still into the same hobbies, while others have discovered new ones.
10. Everyone’s a Parent Now: It seems like half the room had kids. It was heartwarming to chat about parenting stories and share tips and tricks, especially since I’m navigating this whole journey myself.
11. The Power of Forgiveness: Some past grievances were addressed, and it felt liberating to let bygones be bygones. It’s a reminder that moving forward is so much healthier than holding onto grudges.
12. We’re All In This Together: Life can be tough, but it was reassuring to see that we’re all facing our own battles. That sense of camaraderie made the reunion feel even more special.
