That's true, but the early year ones are fun too. You just need to go there with an attitude that you're going to reminisce and have fun.

My tenth and twentieth were more about showing up in a fancy car, dressed to the nines. I just didn't participate in that crap. My wife and I showed up in casual clothes and started visiting. For me, showing off my wife was a good enough "I've been more successful than you" statement anyway.

Just go, lighten up and when they start telling you how successful they are, just don't acknowledge it and ask if they remember the time when...., even if you've been more successful than them.

Don't cheat yourself out of the chance to see your old classmates.
