How to rule your High School reunion

Now I will teach you how to master your High school reunion, so you can show all your class mates how cool you have become:

·         Edit Your Life Story

Someone will inevitably ask, "What've you been up to?" So have about three compelling anecdotes handy.

Good go-to topics: that crappy job right out of college, the dating mishap that brought you and your wife together. People relate well to subjects of work and love.

·         Ask Smart Questions

Bust up monotony with questions that take the conversation in a new direction.

Three ideas: "What's the most exciting thing you've done since graduation?" "Do you have a favorite memory from high school?" "What's the most interesting place you've traveled to?"

·         Don't Apologize to Your Ex

It's ancient history. Instead, approach casually, and after a few minutes of chitchat, say, "Look, I know we didn't end on a high note, but I learned a few things, at least. Can I buy you a drink?" Then do so.
