This weekend was my five year college reunion. I skipped it because my good friends weren't going and I couldn't justify buying a plane ticket to NYC in order to see people I don't keep in touch with anyway. But maybe that's the whole point of going to a reunion? So much has changed since I graduated college...Married with a kid, living in California and graduated from law school. But unlike going back to high school, I know my accomplishments won't seem out of the ordinary. Most of my classmates have completed some form of graduate school, many of them have started their own businesses or traveled the world providing relief to people in developing regions. From my small circle of friends, one is doing intelligence for the Air Force, one is finishing up Med School and one is going to be a professor at Harvard Business School next year. I'm the one who chose to settle down and start a family, which most of them would probably like to save for their later years.
Maybe at the 10 year reunion I won't be the only one pulling out my iPhone to show off pictures of my child.

I went to my 5 year reunion last summer. It was fun, but I mostly spent time with people that I keep in touch with anyways. The one fun part was staying in a freshman dorm, though my back didn't like it after 2 nights.
