How to Overcome Your Class Reunion Angst

It's normal to experience the class reunion jitters. Don't let your insecurities force you to miss what could be the time of your life.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Evening Attire
• Phone Books
• Breath Mints
• Cologne
• Makeup Kits
• Perfume

1. Take an afternoon or evening to jot down all of your positive school memories, look over photos of old friends and listen to music from your school years.
2. Make a mental list of all that you have accomplished and how you have grown through the years.
3. Get in touch with at least two former classmates. Reminiscing with old pals will help you to get in the reunion spirit.
4. Ask to help with the reunion planning. There's always room for one more planning committee member, and it will help awaken your enthusiasm for the event.
5. Arrive in your hometown one day early if you don't live there. Spend quality time visiting your favorite spots, driving around your old neighborhood and dwelling on nostalgia.
6. Look your best. Rather than crash dieting, stepping up your health and fitness program several months prior to the reunion will ensure that you look and feel your best.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember that everyone had the same insecurities and issues that you did in school. Approach the reunion as an opportunity for reconciliation, understanding and fun!
• Take a hot, soapy bubble bath and a long stroll the day before the reunion to unwind and reevaluate your nervousness.
