Friend reunion?

So tomorrow Im meeting up with a few girlfriends from high school. Its been about 5 yrs since we've all been together in a room for longer than a quick hello. We were all really close in high school, but the crazy adult life with work/school schedules has made it hard for us to keep in touch, even though we live in the same town. This past year we found each other on myspace and have really clicked again like old times. I guess what I'm trying to say is I am really nervous. I've changed a lot (physically) since high school. Im not as thin as I use to be.....I'm not done with school as most of them are. Any ideas on how to break the ice and kind of avoid questions like "when are you finishing school?"......BTW: we graduated in 2003 and we are all turning 23 this year....I'm the baby of the bunch! I'm wont be 23 til the end of the year! If that makes a difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My reason for not finishing school is that I have a congenital heart disease that I've kept hidden since high school. Hospital trips and surgeries really take away a lot of time. I'm still going to school just at a slow pace. & for a first meet in a while I dont want to share my medical issues, just yet!

so what if you arent bone thin anymore, curves are hot right now cuz we have finally figured out that men need hips to hold onto when we are on top, and who cares if you havent finished school, if it comes up tell em "when i save up enough money to go back...who knew real life would cost so much?" im sure if they are worth being friends with that there will be much better conversation than that. besides you have to gossip about who is doing what...crushes you used to have that are now getting fat and bald, or turned out to be total loosers out side of high school, the nerds that got totally hot after high school and all of that stuff before you start picking on each other, and if they do pick cuz you gained a few pounds well im sure someone has had a baby by now...make fun of her stretch marks. not really...if they are your real friends they wont be mean and you will have a blast.

I understand how you feel self concious about having gained weight and still being in school. Don't worry about it. Trust me, these were your best friends in highschool and they aren't going to care. For all you know, they may have gained some weight now too. As for not finishing school yet, it's not going to matter either. You are on a different schedule than them. Just go and have a great time and don't sweat the small stuff.
