15-year reunion
Believe it or not, my 15-year college reunion is in April. Ugh, that’s depressing. I’ve just agreed to serve on the reunion host committee. As former alumni director there, seems like the least I can do. But it’s strange. After working there for seven and a half years after graduation, being all Oglethorpe all the time, I’ve really been just about completely disconnected for a number of years.
Strange to think back on how hopeful and optimistic I was at graduation, how I thought I’d grab life by the tail. Then I think working there for so long really kind of burned me out and made me into something of a cynic. Probably just the last year or two there. I loved the job for a long time.
I don’t feel like I have much to show for the past 15 years. At least I finally managed to get married and start a family. I guess it will be interesting to see who shows up for the reunion and what they’ve made of themselves. Though lots of the people I knew weren’t actually in my class year — one of the great challenges of class reunions being declining affinity with one’s class year…
