Congrats for finishing high school...It was 20 years ago for me (HATED every second of that popularity contest)

Ditto for me too, on both counts. The day I graduated I was unbelievably happy, I even remember on the radio in the car that old Boston song called 'Don't Look Back' came on and I said to myself "Yep. Don't look back!" and that's how I was for years afterwards. I would never complain about my elementary or junior HS torture or the gym class horrors or other things. Nope, I just tried to push it all out of my mind and looked forward to college and the real world. Although, college isn't exactly the real world either, is it. But still, I had fun. Only lately, with my 20 year reunion invitation sitting on my desk, am I thinking about high school. I want to go, just for my selfish
schadenfreude . I'm going with the hopes that some of my tormentors have either grown grossly obese or are chain smoking burnt-out skeletons. And even if they're not, I'll shake their hands anyway and say hello and ask them to tell me everything they've done for the last 20 years in 3 minutes.
