Any point in going to my 10 year HS class reunion (see details)?

Asked by weeveeship (4665points) June 15th, 2018

10 year HS reunion is coming up soon. My class had 400 students and had regular and AP (i.e. college) level classes. As can be expected, those classes are separate, and for example, AP students rarely mixed with regular students (who tend to be mostly jocks) and vice versa. Mind you, there is no animosity between the groups – they don’t mix because they don’t have common interests.

I was an AP student. My friends were all AP students. None of them are attending the reunion. All of them are out of state now.

I have seen the guest list for the reunion on FB and most of them were regular students. Most of the regular students’ FB profiles portray them as still being the people I remembered them as, i.e. not sharing interests as me. e.g. They love to drink, I don’t. They love sports (esp. football), I really don’t. I like anime, they don’t. I also like building models out of LEGO, they don’t.

In short, what I’m trying to say is that the “reunion” is not much of a reunion at all but really a meeting with some “acquaintances” (more like strangers) who have interests very different from mine to this day. I don’t really see the point of going to such an event, but want your opinions.

One more thing: The event is held at a beer house that only serves beer (no coke, I checked). I don’t drink (and can’t drink) for medical reasons. The regular students are huge drinkers both then and now (one of the interests that they have that I don’t.). So, I think I will be awfully bored at the reunion.
