That leaving school date is a bit like waiting for a well deserved holiday in that we can hardly wait for them to arrive. And after that long wait, it’s all over in an instant! At school, the head is poised on stage waiting to hand you your certificate to adulthood, and that cherished childhood is but a distant memory! Heck, we’re a long time old! Freedom from the bondage of high school and disciplined study. College is just around the corner. All the high school classmates that you came so close to over the past years are about to become but a distant memory. Well most of them anyway.
Classmates.com, a fairly new concept, has done away with the lost connections of high school friendships. Now when we want to get in touch with that certain someone from way back when, all we have to do is log onto that information superhighway. Classmates.com allows you to enter your current information into a database, hence giving you access to high schools around the country. Where did you go to school? What year did you graduate? It’s really as easy as that to reconnect to old classmates that have registered just like you, no matter where they are in the world !
For just a small monthly fee, you can find yourself back in touch with a friend you haven’t seen in donkey’s years. High school reunions are becoming less vital to keeping you up on all the latest with your graduating class. Don’t wait ten years to talk to an old buddy from gym class, email them right now. Classmates.com instantly puts you in touch with all who list their current information. You can post what you do for a living, whether or not you have met that special someone and tied the knot, or whether you still live in the immediate area.
I remember deciding to give classmates.com a bash hen I just couldn’t get in touch with an old buddy of mine from way back when. I wasn’t really all that optimistic, but I figured there wasn’t much to lose other than the small fee charged by the site, and a few minutes of my time. And guess what? I found my good ole mate online before you could say Jack Robinson, and within days of that we had that Blast from the Past experience and have vowed never to lose touch again.
With the best intention in the world, the reality is that people lose touch with one another, even when the vow never to. In the real world, we all have our own lives to live, which typically result in going our separate ways. From Starving students with college educations, we all launched into our jobs and careers as we began to pay off the dreaded students loans from yesteryear. Then along came the partners, the house, the kids, and eventual stability in life (well for some of us!), Phew! It’s no wonder we all lost touch as we journeyed down our separate paths over the years.
