Facebook has satisfied my curiousity factor about what is happening with people. So, oh well. Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />Hi there Amanda - I've read your blog and it certainly looks like you've done well with yourself. But, if we could go back to change the past, I know that a lot of us would probably make some different decisions on some stuff...Dr. Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05207266669522973903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-10558271405936096252010-08-22T22:37:19.409-04:002010-08-22T22:37:19.409-04:00I didn't go to my 10 or 20 year reunions... an...I didn't go to my 10 or 20 year reunions... and I think sometimes it was the envy factor. I was in all honors/ AP classes, and now I'm a glorified secretary. Meanwhile, most of my academic peers are doctors, lawyers, stay-at-home mothers... stuff I'd like to be now, but am not due to choices and circumstances I'm in no position to change now, LOL.<br /><br />If I could go back and talk to my early college self, I'd try to at <i>least</i> convince her to major in something other than English.

I really felt as though I didn't have much interest in seeing people with whom I have no other contact with except at these events. I am only in contact on a personal level with one friend from high school. I am probably friends with 30 or so people from my HS class on Facebook but only to "see what they are doing". I don't want to be close with any of them. Social media gives us a chance to know what other people are doing without the falseness of "we should get together more often" or "keep in touch".NEOUCOM 96noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-91789386314954959042010-08-22T21:40:14.537-04:002010-08-22T21:40:14.537-04:00Hey SNC - I thought I was the only one to feel lik...Hey SNC - I thought I was the only one to feel like that about some people from high school. Thanks for the random pep talk! We all need one sometimes.<br /><br /><br />Hi drlori71 - I'll be curious on if you decide to go or not. I admit that even up to last week, I was still undecided. But, after thinking about it this weekend, this is what I came up with. And, what better way to celebrate, than to blog about it and share it with all of you!Dr. Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05207266669522973903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-49469167720129113412010-08-22T21:29:28.255-04:002010-08-22T21:29:28.255-04:00My 20 year HS reunion is in November and right now...My 20 year HS reunion is in November and right now I'm undecided if I'll go. I didn't to my 10 year because I didn't think people would be that different or interesting after only 10 years. I think after 20 years people have experienced so much more in life. But I actually think that Facebook has ruined the high school reunion. Thanks to Facebook, I already know who's married, who has kids, who is fat and who is bald. <br />But who knows...3 months from now I may change my mind and go to the reunion. I'll wait and see :-)drlori71http://loripalooza.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-32143837451129461902010-08-22T21:18:42.658-04:002010-08-22T21:18:42.658-04:00Wow…very honest post.

Personally, every time I see a friend from school get married or have a baby …I feel a twinge of inadequacy. It’s not “snob-ish” to skip out if you honestly feel like you wouldn’t enjoy yourself, but don’t feel insecure. You are the Dr. Anonymous and you have fans. Who else can say that? <br /><br />I'm sorry. I give random pep talks sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
