Argh I am so obsessed. I spent the last hour looking through orkut, thefacebook, and friendster finding old classmates from high school. Awhile ago, I was adamnant against attending my high school reunion. But now, I am just curious about how everyone has changed. I am not missing the people, but it\\’s just how the outcasts have turned into jocks and how the jocks have turned into couch potatoes.<\/p>\n
There are some classmates I recognized…who are now married. And have kids. What happened? I am not even close to being attached to anyone. And having kids is far far in the future. There are some that I thought would be at the community college forever and would study to be a car salesman. But I was wrong, they strived and they are at Berkeley. There are some who reinvented themselves when they went to college (I guess I would be one of these people). I saw a geek that wasn\\’t well accepted was now…admired by many (according to the testimonals, but testimonals are a fa\u00e7ade) and is the founder of the athletic club for engineers at ucla. Wait, what happened?<\/p>\n
I have always wondered what my high school classmates remembered me as. I am thinking that socially awkward girl, the one who never said anything, the one who just didn\\’t fit in, just didn\\’t have the right words, the right clothes, but she was so smart<\/i>.<\/p>\n
So I look through orkut and recognize some names. At my mini-reunion three years ago for my advanced math class, I became a wreck because I thought I wasn\\’t able to reinvent myself. I had stood with my former classmates crumbling upon myself, because I still couldn\\’t fit in. And now, I feel like I could. It doesn\\’t matter anymore. Most of us don\\’t associate with each other. We are so past that<\/i>. Like one fellow classmate said at that mini-reunion, \\”I just don\\’t know these people anymore.\\”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
