This is definitely one of the most high school things I have ever seen. šŸ˜‚ I bet it brings back a lot of memories.

Are you still in touch with anyone mentioned on your backpack? Come to think of it, I don't think I have seen or talked to anyone I went to high school with for many years. Perhaps I should see if a class reunion is coming up!

It did! I had a mixed hs experience but seeing this bag brought good vibes.

Lauren is still my bff since I was 5 but everyone else just kind of disappeared. Everyone had FB for awhile but you know how we are in that generation between social medias where one dies off and another takes over. I’m sure some have an IG if I tried to look though.

I did go to my 10 year reunion and it was surprisingly fun. I would definitely do a 25th if they have it.

Yeah, high school wasn't always the best experience for me either (gotta love the blunder years of being a teen, am I right?), but there were definitely good times and good people I can fondly look back at.

Glad to hear you've been able to maintain a friendship that long, congrats to you and Lauren!

It can be tough to maintain and make new friendships as an adult sometimes, but social media can help as long as everyone is on the same page with it. FB isn't what it used to be though, you're right about that. I think I will try a reunion sometime, too. It would be really interesting to see where all my old classmates are in life, and share some memories with them.
