You ever done it fs? If so where are they now/how much did they change, and upset your expectations to what they were going to do it life?

Or where you the one who never ended up where everyone thought you would.

Sort of. I got in touch with some people I knew when I was nineteen-ish. One was dating a fourteen year old and I noped right out of knowing him after that. Another one had dropped out of high school after I moved away and became an alcoholic.

Yes, most of my friends are my friends that I knew during High School (or from earlier) and other than getting a bit older (and hopefully wiser) we are the same kind of people, with pretty similar dreams as the ones we had back then.

Heck even my ex (that I dated for most of High School) that I hadn't talked to for 5 or so years, is doing what he planned to do when we dated, and seems to be the same type of person.

I met my best friend when we were 13 and I still see her all the time. I have another friend I met when I was 7 and he's really busy but we still get together pretty regularly.

My best friend is doing basically what we always thought she would. She always loved ecology and now she's doing environmental testing. I'm the one who would shock most people who knew me in high school. People acted like I was some kind of genius (teachers too) but then health issues got worse when I went to college and I crashed and burned and now I'm unemployed and living with my parents.

I hear you on the health issues. I like to think I'd be doing a lot better in life if my health was better.

I'm probably not far enough out of high school, I suppose, for much change yet. Though recently a boy two years below me died suddenly, and that shook everyone.

Edit: Basically we're all at least somewhat in touch over facebook and the like.

We've kept in touch but ended up in very different places. None more so than myself and my old best friend. I chose a career in a cause I believe in. She chose high wages.

I'm broke and she's just moved into a million pound house in London. I should have just sold out. Fuck believing in causes.

What careers, come on be less coy.

Social worker/hedge fund manager.

Not sure if you'll see this now but I work in admin supporting social workers, and I'd like to thank you because you do an incredibly difficult, often thankless job. It's probably not much consolation with your financial situation but it makes me glad to see people with passion going into the field. Thanks <3

The only person I keep in contact with from high school is my husband. Hahahaha.

If Facebook counts... I guess they're sort of where I thought they'd be, more or less. One is still a ditz. There's actually some people who did exactly what they wanted - one friend has managed to have her dream car, live in her dream state, and work in her dream career. It's like the game MASH blew up in her face.

For real life, only one person.... and tbh we're changing so much we don't keep in touch as often anymore. :/

As for me, I dunno... probably thought I'd be married by now. Nope.

I'm still close friends with a few people from my high school, so I keep in touch with them, obviously. Other than that, I don't keep in touch with anyone else, except for when I hear things from the people I do keep in touch with.

I don't know, there are a handful of people I would be somewhat interested in hearing about, but for the most part, I just don't really care either way. Just not that interested. I'm sure they feel the same way about me.

Only my bffs. My other ex-classmates added me on facebook, I added them back and never updated it. As far as I know, a lot of them are getting engaged, some of them just got married, have kids or are getting jobs they wanted.

People (teachers, classmates, family) expected for me to be a Graphic Designer since I like art. That went badly. I think people would be more shocked about me not following an art-oriented career than anything else.

Facebook hadn't been invented yet and I went off to school far away and never really came back (although I did move back to the same general region in the country) so keeping touch was hard, even with email and later stuff like Livejournal. There's only one person I've sort of kept in touch with all this time, and I actually haven't seen her in a few years now. My high school best friend and I kept in close contact through college and for about a year into my grad school career - despite the two of us being in different time zones - but her life changed a lot in ways mine didn't and we grew apart until she more or less fell off the face of the earth. I'm Facebook friends with a few high school friends now, but I don't go on Facebook much. I have a worse time with college friends, since Facebook hadn't been invented yet, either, and now I can't find any of them on it.

I haven't really kept in touch, but it's partially because I abhor Facebook. There are some old friends I'd be interested to know about. Of my 3 best friends the last I heard/spoke to them one was doing what I expected her to do (teaching), the other was still working/living at the same place she'd been in high school, and the other wasn't doing much of anything.

The last one was my closet friend and the reason we haven't talked is because the last time I saw her I realized that we had nothing to really say to each other. The things she was interested in, I really could care less about and vice versa. She also had this "man hate" attitude which I thought was strange since AFAIK she hadn't had a serious boyfriend ever. And the way she spoke about people working in public service I didn't agree with at all. I figured it came from a place of ignorance since she'd never worked in it before. She was a different person and not one that I would've befriended.

I am in touch with many of my former classmates/bandmates via Facebook, but I don't know most of them that well. I have one good friend from HS who I'm still close to.

I haven't been graduated long enough for there to be a class reunion - though our five-year would be this year. I don't know if it happened/will happen; I feel like I'd hear about it if it did, but maybe nobody is organizing it? oh well

Anyway, the other thing is most people who went to college from my class only recently finished, and not a lot of people have a career set yet or anything like that (and that's just of the ones I know). Some are working, some in grad school, not very many married or with kids (though there are a few), people are still figuring things out.
