I made it to my reunion on time! Despite knowing that the 5-year reunion was poorly attended, I still decided to go to the 10-year reunion. It wasn’t much of a surprise to find out that the 10-year was attended by the same 9 girls. We talked about how disappointing it is that more of our schoolmates don’t want to be more involved. The thing is, the girls that did attend all stay in touch and so it is easy for them knowing they’ll see their friends. I can’t tell you how difficult it was for me to get out of the car and walk to Cardinal Hall where the dinner was held. I wasn’t sure if I would be the only one from my class. Wandering around, I was the only single person on the grounds. It was difficult but I forced myself. And it is a good thing because once inside, I met up with my class and we had a great time! One of the main reasons more girls don’t attend, I have to assume, is they are unable to force themselves to attend the reunion solo. I refuse to let the lack of a man in my life hold me back from attending functions and doing things I want to do.

One of the girls I talked with told me that she was supposed to get married last week but her mother was diagnosed with cancer last summer so she moved the wedding to October. Her mother died in December. Puts things into perspective for me. My room is messy. I am struggling to learn the ropes at my job. I date men who are jerks. BUT AT LEAST I STILL HAVE MY PARENTS!
