worried I havent accomplished enough before my hs reunion
I'm 27 years old and my ten year highschool reunion is coming up in the new year. Well I feel that by my age I should have acomplished more than I have.
For one thing, I'm still single and don't own my own home or have children. I thought by now that I'd be married, have either a successful career or be a housewife.
All I have is a ten year old car, a small appartment that I rent, a part time job that doesnt pay that good, and some nice furniture and lots of movies, cds, and large television and computer. Maybe I shouldnt complain, I guess things could be worse. Some people from my class are in jail, or had to move back in with there parents for financial reasons, or became single parents.
How can I feel better about myself so when I do go to the reunion I won't sound like such a loser?

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
Well I want to say 1 thing, that is very good to start with because some people wish they had what you have. Not only that, people who are rich now start off like what you are doing. You dont sound like a loser. All you have to do is tell your self ''I am so happy I am here and not in jail or in any other place''

tell yourself how hard you work for everything...those are accomplishments!
get a nice outfit and tell everyone about your "simple but happy" life. <3

I can't really tell you how to feel good about yourself.. that's for you to accomplish on your own. You should already know that you're not a loser, and that you managed to avoid a lot of the unsavory fates of your ex-classmates. Having a car, an apartment, and a job is A LOT better than being in jail or not being able to have the extra things you want because you're worried about paying for all the stuff that kids need... And you don't have to worry about that stuff.. because you're a free woman who can go out and have fun without having to ask permission from a husband or worrying about having to find a babysitter.
What I think you should do... is just take a look at all the good things you've got going in your life and not worry about the things you haven't done... There are tons of people who would LOVE to be you at that reunion.. especailly the ones that moved back in with their parents...

Relax. You're in your tweens. Lots of your classmates are enjoying the same freedom that you are. The culture has changed in the past twenty years, and more young adults are combining the fun-loving freedom of their teenage years with the advantages of adulthood and an income....and they are putting off the burden of marriage, family, and a serious career to enjoy themselves. They call it the tweens, and it can last until their early thirties. Don't worry, you won't be the only one there enjoying yourself!

Don't worry so much about it. I agree with younggrandma, "if you are happy, that's the thing that matters the most". I have this teacher whos like 40 something years old & he's not married & he's super depressed. But he's this great guy & really funny when he's not depressed. Just go. And if people ask you what's up with your life & you tell them and then they give you this weird look be like, "Well i'm really happy with what i do because i don't want to rush into things soo much & have it mess up my life." Something like that =). Don't sweat it. And if people are talkin shit, kick their ass like you would in highschool..
Lol just kidding about that part =)

Hey There,
Aww Your okay. I have a teacher who is 25 and he still lives with his mom and has no children and isn't in any kind of relationship. And All of us love him. That shows that you can be single, good looking, and still live with your parents but still be a good person. They should judge your problems. So I wouldn't worry. If it comes up about if your still single say "Yes and I'm looking." (sorry about the other answer)

Watch Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion first. Then realize that you do have it better off than a lot of people and that many people have not achieved their ultimate status yet. Just tell people the truth, you won't sound like a loser. You'll sound like a loser if you lie about what you did. Like inventing post-its or something like that. Seriously, watch the movie.

Sounds like you are doing a lot better than a lot of them!
Really, I wouldn't worry about it at all. You have your own place, you don't owe your paycheck to half a dozen people...you are doing great!
Some may have a better paying job, be married with children...those things are nice but they are not measures of success.
If you are happy, that's the thing that matters most. Go and have fun. :)
