My high school graduating class has it's 35th reunion this past weekend; I didn't attend it, but photos have been posted. My first reaction when I saw the photos was "OMG, AM I REALLY THAT OLD?!!?" (though some in my class have aged less gracefully than others ...)
I'm 26 years post HS and I do the exact same thing! Just yesterday I saw the current photo of a guy I knew back then on facebook and I could barely recognize him. If his name wasn't right next to his face, I wouldn't have. I've noticed that it is even more obvious (or shocking!) that the men are aging than the women because they tend to lose their hair and get much meatier (how many guys remain as pre-pubescent skinny as HS??).
