The 22 Stages of Your High School Reunion

Updated on Nov 26, 2015 at 7:00 PM

Anyone else remember watching Romy & Michele's High School Reunion and thinking, "When I'm that old, I'll have my life together way better than those girls do"? Then you get your Facebook invitation to the group "10-Year High School Reunion Coming Up! Yay!" and realize that the time is now, people. Is your sh*t together?

Your reunion happens whether you're ready or not. So don't stress about whether you've invented something cool like Post-Its and if you'll win the "most changed for the better since high school" award, because who really cares what these people think about you. Grab a free drink, find your best friend on the dance floor, and party like it's 2005 . . . or 1995. If you're still nervous, see how the process will most likely play out, courtesy of our favorite Romy and Michele GIFs!
