I would say, for sure go to your 10 year high school reunion. Even if you were a total dork in high school. 'Cause if you were a total dork, you'll probably find that it'll take at least a day for people to realize that you were a dork, because they don't have any memory of you. Only until you hail some totally lame dude as "a total player" will your former classmates around you recall that yes! you were a dork--that's why you think that guy was a player! And they will politely point out that the guy you named a "player" did date a lot of women, but they were all freshman when we were seniors, and they all went to other high schools. And everyone know what that means.
It was a cocktail party with 100 people, some of whom you are best buds with now, some of whom you haven't talked to in years but happen to recall are totally cool, and some of whom are total tools (and you just avoid that last crowd!). And, your fantastic date! (One guy wrote on his nametag "insignificant other" of an alum). Oh, and a few teachers boozin' it up. I apologized to one for completely disrupting her class when she taught me sophmore year, but she didn't seem to hold it against me. Anyway, she wasn't the teacher whose houseplants I tossed out the classroom window (thereby garnering the esteem of my peers).

You threw your teacher's houseplants out the window and still managed to get into Columbia? One of those two things must not be true.
That is awesome! Clearly you couldn't have been that much of a dork, since you were willing to protest for the liberation of unjustly incarcerated plants.
Also, just what does it mean when a senior is dating freshmen from other high schools? Statutory rape?
No, it's like he's not cool enough to a)date other seniors and b) even to date people in our school! Instead, he dates people in a school where no one knows that in his own school, he's a dork.
When I was dating freshman from another school as a senior, it usually meant that this other school was offering a bulk discount.
Now why can't everyone date cheaply from Sam's Club as adults?
