10 Types of Classmates You Will See at Your next Class Reunion (1)

Description:

As part of our ClassFinders.com survey of 10,000+ members who had milestone class reunions last year, we asked alumni why they wanted to go (or didn't want to go) to their class reunion events. The responses were enlightening (seeing the change in people was the main reason people wanted to go) and helped us create this handy guide to the 10 types of people you'll see at your next class reunion.

Gloaters
  • Even though just about 2 percent of our survey
    respondents said they went to their reunions to
    impress people with how they've changed,
    everybody knows it certainly couldn't hurt to
    impress your classmates with your incredible
    transformation -- even if you didn't invent
    Post-Its.

BFFs
  • There's no doubt that as you age, it gets harder
    and harder to stay in touch with your friends, as
    dumb things like kids and jobs often get in the
    way. But many folks use class reunions as just
    another night at the bar, so expect to be
    immersed in inside jokes from not that long ago.
    About 19 percent of reunion attendants said they
    went because their friends were going.

Rekindlers
  • Most people from time to time wonder about what
    might have been. What if you'd married your prom
    date or the last-second shot had gone in? Some
    folks take that a step further by still holding a
    torch for their high school sweetheart or
    childhood crush. More than 10 percent of people
    in our survey attended their reunions to see a
    specific person.

Ugly Ducklings
  • Let's face it, teenagers often are physically
    awkward, what with all the braces and the acne.
    But some folks just don't hit their
    attractiveness peak until later in life, and
    because teens are monsters, many of those folks
    were bullies' targets. Seven percent of those
    surveyed said avoiding people they didn't like
    was a negative point against attending their
    reunions.

Spies
  • The most common reason people said they attended
    their class reunions was to see how people have
    changed (22 percent). As if gathering
    intelligence, the spy will draw life details out
    of their classmates like they are collecting
    state secrets.

Peter Pans
  • These are the folks still sporting bell-bottoms,
    JNCO jeans, or Flock of Seagulls-style hair.
    They're the ones who just don't want to grow up
    and are often accompanied by the same friend
    group to help ensure none of them ever have to.

Penny-Pinchers
  • Second only to travel distance, about 23 percent
    of people considered not attending their reunions
    because the cost was too high. If you're seated
    next to one of these folks, you can expect to
    hear a lot of grousing about the cost of their
    ticket. Buy them a drink and all will be well.

Parents of the Year
  • Depending on your graduation year, it's likely
    many of your classmates will be taking the night
    off from parenting to attend the festivities.
    Hopefully they have more stories than just ones
    about changing diapers. About 5 percent of survey
    respondents said a lack of childcare made them
    hesitant to attend their reunions.

Jet Setters
  • This person's passport is utterly covered in
    stamps from all the foreign countries they've
    visited in their lifetime, and they have a story
    to go along with each one. Nearly one-third of
    our survey respondents said the travel distance
    made them think twice about attending.

Nobodies
  • "She doesn't even go here!" you might say about
    this person, but they somehow have managed to
    wrangle an invite and even some free drinks.
    Everyone likes the exotic stranger, right? Does
    anyone remember them?
